AIM: To investigate surgical options and clinical outcomes of treating retinal redetachment after the initial silicone oil tamponade.METHODS: Nineteen eyes of 19 patients who had been performed silicone oil tamponade underwent 23G scleral double-channel retinal reattachment surgery in silicone oil. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure(IOP)and retinal reattachment with its complications were evaluated postoperatively.RESULTS: Retinal reattachment was achieved in 17 patients(17 eyes)after surgery, with the success rate of 89%. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)at 1wk after surgery ranged from 0.4 to HM/BE. Three days after surgery, IOP >21mmHg was observed in 6 eyes and then decreased after the therapy of lowering IOP. The IOP ranged from 16.3～24.6mmHg at 3mo postoperatively.CONCLUSION: 23G scleral double-channel retinal reattachment surgery in silicone oil is an effective, convenient and safe method to treat retinal redetachment after initial simply silicone oil tamponade at the early stage.
