硅油是玻璃体视网膜手术中的重要工具，因为它们能够将房水从视网膜表面移走，保持视网膜和视网膜色素上皮之间的粘连。要了解这种能力，重要的是了解硅油的特性。本文首先介绍了硅油的主要化学物理特性，然后介绍了目前比水轻的硅油的临床应用，特别是小口径玻璃体切割手术的适应证。最后，我们描述了注入和取出这种类型的硅油的外科技术。在这篇论文的总结中，我们解释了为什么硅油现在越来越多地被使用，以及为什么它们的引入改善了几种视网膜疾病的预后。事实上，拥有不同类型的硅油可以让我们为每一种情况选择合适的内衬。
Silicone oils are important tools in vitreoretinal surgery because they have the ability to displace aqueous humor from the retinal surface, maintaining the adhesion between retina and retinal pigment epithelium. To understand this capability, it is important to know the silicone oil characteristics. Herein, we report first on the main chemical-physical proprieties and then we review the clinical applications of the current silicone oil which is lighter than water with particular reference to their indications with small gauge vitrectomy. Finally, we describe the surgical techniques to inject and remove this type of silicone oil. In the summary of this paper, we explain why silicone oils are today increasingly used and why their introduction has improved the prognosis of several retinal diseases. In fact, having different types of silicone oils allows us to choose the appropriate endotamponade for every single case.
