Outcomes of 25-Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy in the Surgical Management of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Abstract

The authors found 25-gauge PPV to be effective for vitreous removal and membrane dissection. The spectrum and frequency of complications were similar to those reported for 20-gauge PPV for PDR. In the surgical management of PDR, 25-gauge PPV is an alternative.
