PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCP) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with medically uncontrolled secondary @entity726 persisting after intravitreal silicone oil removal. METHODS: Clinical records of 21 eyes of 21 @entity1 who underwentTSCP for medically uncontrolled @entity726 persisting after the removal of intravitreal silicone oil, injected during vitreoretinal surgery for proliferative @entity1715 (PVR), were reviewed retrospectively. Diode laser contactTSCP was applied at a power setting of 1.5-2.5 W, for a maximum duration of 2 s, and a total of 40 spots (10 spots each quadrant). All the @entity1 were evaluated for visual acuity, IOP and number of medications used. RESULTS: The @entity1 were followed up for a mean +/- SD period of 39.9 +/- 4.27 weeks (range 36-48 weeks). The IOP was found to have decreased significantly from a pretreatment value of 34.5 +/- 5.37 mmHg (range 24-44 mmHg) to 20.47 +/- 4.49 mmHg at 6 months of follow up (range 12-30 mmHg, P < 0.01, Student's paired t-test). The total number of @entity726 medications being used reduced from 3.38 +/- 0.5 to 1.08 +/- 0.80 postoperatively (P < 0.01, Wilcoxon's rank sum test). There was no significant difference in the visual acuity before and after the procedure. Thirteen eyes required a second sitting of TSCP, and five of these required a third sitting. For a successful outcome (IOP < 24 mmHg), a mean of 1.56 sittings (range 1-3 sittings) per eye were needed. CONCLUSION: @entity1 with medically uncontrolled @entity726 persisting after intravitreal @entity1346 oil removal can be treated with TSCP; however, the reduction of IOP is variable. The IOP usually falls after a mean of 2-3 sittings of

Diode laser trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation for XXXX following silicone oil removal.
