- Title
Vitrektomie bei florider proliferativer diabetischer Retinopathie.
- Authors
Kieselbach, G.
- Abstract
In 11 eyes out of 7 patients, vitrectomy was performed for progressive proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The indication for vitrectomy was as follows: (1) macular traction with fibrovascular proliferation on the disk; (2) progressive proliferation with vitreous hemorrhage; (3) fibrovascular proliferation on the disk in spite of intensified scattered photocoagulation. 3 eyes were operated a second time, 1 needed a third vitrectomy after nonresolving hemorrhage. Visual acuity increased after vitrectomy in 9 eyes. In 4 eyes new proliferations on the disk occurred. After an observation period of 1 year, 7 eyes show a stable course. Copyright © 1989 S.
