INCIDENCE OF RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT AFTER VITRECTOMY IN EYES OF DIABETIC PATIENTS

Abstract

RRD occurs in a small percentage of patients after PPV with or without gas tamponade for vitreous hemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Thorough postoperative follow-up is important to make early diagnosis and intervention possible.
