Sažetak

The purpose of the study was to present operative technique and results of a passive hydrodynamic expression of silicone
oil through planned posterior capsulorhexis during cataract surgery in patients after pars plana vitrectomy. The
retrospective analysis was done on 57 eyes with cataract after a previous pars plana vitrectomy, operated on between
2001 and 2004 at the Clinical hospital »Sestre milosrdnice« Zagreb. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual
acuity (BCVA), preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), and postoperative complications were
reviewed. Visual acuity improved or stabilized in all patients with an attached retina. Retinal detachment occurred in
11 eyes. Transient vitreous hemorrhage, that resolved within 1 week of surgery without treatment, was observed in 4
eyes. Asymptomatic intraocular lens (IOL) decentration occurred in 2 eyes. Our findings suggest that silicone oil removal
and cataract surgery can be performed as a single procedure in selected patients in the absence of macular
pucker and retinal reproliferation, and in a presence of a stable retina.
