[Postoperative leakage of silicone oil into the anterior chamber].
One reason for complications after silicone oil application is the postoperative entrance of silicone oil into the anterior chamber. In a retrospective study, we tried to define risk factors for oil entrance into the anterior chamber. ⋯ It seems that in the early postoperative period the frequency of oil entrance into the anterior chamber can only be lowered by a subtotal oil filling in aphakic eyes with accompanying encircling procedures. It remains open if radical amputation of the vitreous base can avoid peripheral reproliferations.
