Aim: To determine the factors which influence on the functional outcome of treatment after vitrectomy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDRP). Material & Methods: The study involved 56 patients (56 eyes) with PDRP in time of 2 months after vitrectomy. There were included patients with achieved positive anatomical outcome of treatment, the absence of residual macular edema by optical coherence tomography investigations...

Neuroretina Degeneration After Vitrectomy for PDR with Vitreous Hemorrhage & Tractional RD
Aim: To compare the degree of neuroretinal degeneration by the complex of electrophysiological methods, pattern visual evoked potentials (PVEP) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDRP) who underwent vitrectomy due to only vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment. Material & Methods: We examined 43 patients with PDRP (43 eyes) in terms of 2 months after vitrectomy. The study included patients with positive...

Media not available due to technical recording problems. EVRS is very sorry for the inconvenience. Post vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage is the main cause of failure in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the rate of this complication is 25 -65% of cases. Most of surgeon usually perform vitrectomy again, sometimes with gas tamponade for haemostatic effect. We propose to do more easy procedure – outpatient fluid gas...

Media not available due to technical recording problems. EVRS is very sorry for the inconvenience. Purpose: To show the efficacy and safety of miniinvasive method of pneumatic retinopexy in cases of optic pit macular detachment. Setting venue: The prospective study. Materials and methods: 15 patients (15 eyes) with optic pit macular detachment aged 11-32 years with VA less than 0.1 underwent the pneumatic retinopexy by intravitreal...
Read MoreEffectivity of Intravitreal Triamcinolone Injections for Diabetic Cystoid Macular Edema
Persistent diffuse macular edema (ME) or cystoid ME is a result of chronic inflammation with the generalized breakdown of the inner blood retinal barrier and fluid accumulation, primarily in the outer plexiform layer. This process is characterized by the development of hard exudates and progressively lost of vision. Triamcinolone acetonide is the most effective anti-inflammatory agent. After injection into the vitreous cavity...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2009/congress/Systematic-Primary-Pars-Plana-Vitrectomy-vs-Only-in-Selected-Cases.flv Author: Alexey Putienko, Odessa, Ukraine Advantages: 20% C3F8 allows to achieve 75% or more of gas mixture in vitreous cavity for at least 10 – 12 days after operation, and for this reason there is the possibility to block the tears, which localize in any part of retina, even in inferior zone, very anteriorly. Method: At...
