Abstract

Silicone oils are polymer structures including siloxane repeats in the center. Copolymers formed by combining these polymers at different ratios constitute different silicone structures with different physical and chemical properties. Presence of several factors such as trauma, giant retinal tear, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and retinal tear in posterior localization are the main medical indications for the use of silicone oils in the surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Problems associated with the need for a second surgical intervention to remove silicone oil, the emulsification of silicone oil, and the presence of foreign structure in eye globe are the most important conditions limiting the use of silicone oil.

Özet

Silikon yağları, merkezinde siloksan tekrarlarının bulunduğu polimer yapısındadırlar. Bu polimerlerin farklı oranlarda birleşerek oluşturdukları kopolimerler, farklı fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklere sahip silikon yapılarını oluşturmaktadır. Travma, dev retina yırtığı, proliferatif vitreoretinopati oluşumu ve arka yerleşimli retinal yırtık gibi durumların varlığı, regmatojen retina dekolmanı cerrahisinde silikon yağı kullanımının temel tıbbi endikasyonlarıdır. Silikon yağının çıkarılması için ikinci bir cerrahi müdahale gerekliliği, silikon yağının emülsifikasyonuna bağlı sorunlar ve göz içi yabancı bir oluşumun varlığı ile ilişkili sorunlar silikon yağı kullanımını kısıtlayan en önemli durumlardır.
