The fundamental problem of massive retinal retraction in the contractual stage is due to the establishment of contracting membranes, both on the surface of the retina and away from the surface. These membranes distort and immobilize the retina in a way that cannot be effectively treated by buckling alone. The injection of liquid silicone enables the membrane to be stretched to a point at which it either ruptures spontaneously, or can be ruptured at a point of weakness by a needle tip. The retina, being still elastic, is able to stretch further than the membrane. At this point the membrane is actively elevated by the injecting needle and separated from the retina aa widely as possible. Liquid silicone enables significant membranes to be easily visualized, when separated, to be divided.
在收缩期大规模视网膜脱离的根本问题是由于在视网膜表面及其远离表面处形成了收缩膜。这些膜以一种仅靠巩膜扣带术无法有效治疗的方式使视网膜变形并固定。注入液态硅胶能使膜伸展到要么自发破裂，要么在薄弱点被针尖刺破的程度。视网膜仍具弹性，能比膜伸展得更远。此时，注入针会主动抬高膜并使其尽可能广泛地与视网膜分离。液态硅胶能使分离后的大片膜易于看清以便进行分割。
