AIM: To evaluate the feasibility and advantages of two-port 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for treatment of recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil dwelling eyes.

METHODS: A retrospective study. Two-port 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed in 7 eyes with recurrent retinal detachment without remove of silicone oil. Proliferative membrane peeling, endolaser treatment, and drainage of subretinal fluid were performed. Scleral bulking was performed if necessary.

RESULTS: Sucessful retina re-attachment was accomplishied in all eyes. No visually significant intraoperative complication occurred. All eyes expericend quick recoveray of visual acuity and mild postoperative irritation. One eye developed a recurrent inferior retinal detchment in 20d after the surgery using non-remove technique, and recovered after conventional silicone oil removal and retinal reattachment surgery.

CONCLUSION: Two-port 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy is an efficacious(and potentially cost-efficient)method to treat early stage recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil dwelling eyes.
