Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of modified blood transfusion apparatus on removal of silicon oil in 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy system. Methods Totally 157 patients with silicon oil eye admitted in the Department of Ophthalmology between January and December 2017 were selected by convenient sampling. Silicon oil was removed with the modified blood transfusion apparatus connected to 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy system. The patients' postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was evaluated.
