Abstract | PURPOSE: PATIENTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: In the densiron group, the retinal reattachment rate was 100% with densiron in situ and 87% after its removal, and in the silicone oil group, the retinal reattachment rate was 67% with silicone oil in situ and 53.4% after oil removal. Thus, PPV with densiron had a better anatomical success rate than silicone oil (P = 0.04 with endotamponade and P = 0.05 after endotamponade removal). In both groups, paired comparison of preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was not statistically significant (P = 0.08). CONCLUSION:
