European VitreoRetinal Society a certain philosophy

I use the endodiathermy probe as one of two instruments for bimanual dissection of diabetic fibrovascular proliferations. It replaces either the forceps or the vitreous cutting probe and scissors. Forceps Replacement: I identify the surgical planes, by inserting the endodiathermy probe tip underneath the membranes; this allows me to dissect with the vitreous cutting probe under good visulaization. Probe/scissors Replacement: In the...

Media not available due to technical recording problems. EVRS is very sorry for the inconvenience.   With either diabetic macular edema or with proliferative retinopathy we should ascertain that all retinal laser treatment needed has been done and above all emphasize the importance of a good metabolic control to achieve good results. We certainly should not give up and use anti-angiogenic or corticosteroid intra-vitreal injections as...

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: Eyes with diabetic traction detachment (DTRD) can differ in severity. Systemic control and medication is also very important, which may play a role in the intraoperative and postoperative follow-up. One important complication during surgery is bleeding; when cannot be contolled effectively during pars plana vitrectomy, can...

Media not available due to technical recording problems. EVRS is very sorry for the inconvenience.   Different techniques have been described for the dissection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). When there is a strong adherence between the fibrovascular proliferation and the retinal vessels, segmentation is a safe technique to reduce the risk of bleeding and retinal tear. With the advance of vitrectomy machines, the control...
