Zusammenfassung
Ein Nachteil der konventionellen Endotamponade bei komplizierten Netzhautablösungen mit dem Silikonöl Polydimethylsiloxan (PDMS) ist die unzureichende Tamponadewirkung in der unteren Zirkumferenz oder im posterioren Anteil des Auges, insbesondere wenn bereits proliferative Veränderungen vorliegen. Die Verwendung von schweren Ölen hat sich in theoretischen Versuchen und in Tiermodellen als vorteilhaft gerade bei fehlender Anlage der unteren Netzhautanteilen gezeigt. Dagegen zeigt sich in der klinischen Anwendung noch eine Zurückhaltung in der Anwendung und die vergleichende Multicenterstudie HSO ist noch nicht abgeschlossen, so dass noch keine vergleichenden Ergebnisse zur Anwendung mit konventionellem Silikonöl bestehen. Im Folgenden wird über die bisher publizierten klinischen Erfahrungen mit Densiron® 68, einem Gemisch von PDMS mit Perfluorhexyloktan (F6 H8) und eigene Erfahrungen mit dieser Tamponade berichtet. Prinzipiell haben schwere Silikonölendotamponaden Vorteile gegenüber der Anwendung von PMDS, wie beispielsweise eine einfachere Handhabung für den Operateur, eine kürzere Tamponadezeit und einfachere Liegeposition des Patienten. Da das schwere Öl Densiron® 68 aus einer Mischung von 70 % PDMS mit 30 % des Perfluorokarbons F 6 H8 besteht, welches bei alleiniger Verwendung als Endotamponade erhebliche Nebenwirkungen zeigte, wird besonders auch auf mögliche Komplikationen und deren Vermeidung bei Verwendung der schweren Silikonölendotamponade eingegangen.
Abstract
Retinal surgery of retinal detachment in the inferior part of the eye is often complicated by the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Therefore the heavier-than-water concept using heavy silicone oils is a logical consequence for treatment of otherwise unsuccessful retinal surgery in such cases. While some surgeons already use heavy silicone oils in the clinical routine, others are carefully following complication rates. Even good anatomical and functional results are published as critical case reports. In this report we describe the advantages of the heavy silicone oil endotamponade and our own clinical experiences with Densiron® 68. The use of heavy silicone oils turned out to be quite convenient, leading for example to shorter tamponade times, easy handling of the oil, no need for uncomfortable prone-position of the patients. On the other hand one has to consider that Densiron® 68 is a mixture which contains 70 % PDMS and 30 % F 6 H8, a heavy fluid that was associated with multiple complications if used as sole long-term endotamponade. Based on these experiences we recommend all users bear in mind possible complications. However, such complications can be prevented.
