Vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery in treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR V-VI stage).Methods A total of 80 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy from January 2012 to January 2014 were divided into the single group and the combined group according to the surgical method.Patients of the single group were treated by vitrectomy while patients of the combined group were treated by vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery.The incidence of retinal reattachment,postoperative vision and surgical complications between the two groups were compared.Results Compared with the single group,the incidence of retinal reattachment was higher in combined group (P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative vision improvement was better than that in single group,the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).And the surgical complications in combined group was less than that in single group,the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy has a better clinical effect which is safe and reliable,and it can improve the rate of retinal reattachment and reduce surgical complications.
