Repair of complex retinal detachment

Repair of complex retinal detachment: remove silicone oil, epiretinal membrane peel, retinotomy, subretinal membrane removal, perfluron, laser, silicone oil. This 80 year old man had 2 retinal detachment surgeries elsewhere. He was referred one month ago and had surgery by Dr. Cohen MD for a retinal detachment with subretinal and pre-retinal silicone oil and extensive preretinal fibrosis. The retina was reattached and then one month later he developed a limited retinal detachment. Interestingly, the only part of the retina that was not detached at the initial surgery was the part that detached.
