Video 16.1: 27G silicone oil removal
27G is an excellent choice for silicone oil removal because the risk of postoperative hypotony is significantly reduced. 1000 cSt and 5000cSt silicone oil can be easily removed with 27G. Remove a valve from an infusion trocar and attach the silicone oil infusion line (VFE, DORC) (Figs. 16.1 and 16.2). 1000cSt oil can be removed within 5 min and 5000 cSt oil within 10 min. An alternative is the novel 25G metal cannula for silicone oil injection and removal (Fig. 16.3).
