Original article title
Pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil versus pars plana vitrectomy alone for postoperative endophthalmitis: A randomized controlled trial.
Takeaway
In a 40-eye trial of severe postoperative endophthalmitis, adding silicone oil to vitrectomy reduced recurrent infection, but the primary visual-acuity outcome did not differ significantly. The small study supports further evaluation rather than a firm vision-benefit claim.
Keep in mind
Small randomized trial.
