Abstract
To report a prospective two centred non-comparative interventional pilot study of a solution of perfluorohexyloctane and silicone oil (Densiron-68) as a heavier than water internal tamponade.
42 consecutive patients were recruited. The indications include proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachments arising from inferior retinal breaks, and inability to posture.
The success rate with one operation using Densiron was 81% and with further surgery 93%. At the end of the study all tamponade agents were removed in 90% of patients. Visual acuity improved from mean logMAR of 1.41 (SD 0.64) to 0.94 (SD 0.57), p = 0.001. There was little evidence of dispersion and excessive inflammation.
This new tamponade agent is being compared to conventional silicone oil in a prospective international randomised trial.
