  • Title: [Vitrectomy in ocular complications of diabetes. I. Early and late results of vitrectomy].
    Author: Dziegielewski K, Nawrocki J, Pikulski Z.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1996 Jan; 98(1):17-20. PubMed ID: 9019569.
    Abstract:
    Results of 168 pars plana vitrectomies (ppV) of 144 diabetics are presented. In 26.2% of eyes before surgery, vitreous hemorrhage without detachment of the retina was present. In the remaining eyes, different stages of tractional detachment occurred. Visual acuity worse than 1/50 was observed in 83.9% of eyes before surgery. Results of ppV were evaluated on the 7th day and after the 3rd, 6th, 12th and 18th month following the procedure. Anatomical and functional success was achieved in about 80% and 67% of treated eyes, respectively, over the whole follow-up period.
