  • Title: Removal of solid silicone rubber exoplants after retinal detachment surgery.
    Author: Wiznia RA.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1983 Apr; 95(4):495-7. PubMed ID: 6837692.
    Abstract:
    A prospective study of 255 eyes undergoing scleral buckling procedures with solid silicone rubber elements as exoplants disclosed a 1.2% incidence (three of 255 eyes) of buckling element removal after a minimum follow-up period of two years. This rate was lower than that reported in series using solid silicone rubber implants or sponge silicone rubber exoplants.
