Abstract
Method

Prospective observational study including 10 patients (age range: 27–74 years) with recurrent retinal detachment (RD) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and 2.8 mean unsatisfactory previous surgeries. Densiron® was injected in all patients, with surgical retinectomy being required in 70% of them. Minimum follow-up time was 12 months.

Results

The mean length of time before Densiron® withdrawal was 4 months. Three patients (30%) presented with a new RD. The main complication detected was cataract development. No relationship was found between re-detachments and tamponade time, baseline disease or RD evolution time. Densiron® may be a good option in cases of recurrent RD in which previous treatment with scleral buckle, gas and/or 1000/5000 silicone oils has proven to be unsatisfactory.

Resumen
Método

Se estudiaron los antecedentes de 10 pacientes (rango de edad: 27–74 años), los cuales, a pesar de una media de 2,8 intervenciones previas, presentaban de nuevo desprendimiento de retina (DR) y vitreorretinopatía proliferativa (VRP). En todos ellos se optó por realizar retinotomía quirúrgica e implantación de Densiron® y valoramos su evolución con un seguimiento de 12 meses.

Resultados

El tiempo medio de Densiron® hasta su retirada fue de 4 meses. Tres pacientes (30%) presentaron nuevo DR. El desarrollo de cataratas fue la complicación principal. No encontramos relación entre los redesprendimientos y la duración del tamponamiento, enfermedad de base o tiempo de evolución del DR. Densiron® puede ser una buena opción en casos de DR recidivante en los que el tratamiento previo con cerclaje, gas o aceites de silicona de 1.000/5.000 cts resulte insuficiente.
