Pars Plana Lensectomy, Pars Plana Vitrectomy,and Silicone Oil Tamponade as Initial Management of Cataract and Combined Traction/Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Involving the Macula Associated With Severe Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

摘要

To eval-uate visual acuity and anatomic outcomes, and complications, following pars plana lensectomy, pars plana vitrectomy, and silicone oil tamponade (PPL/PPV/ SO) in the initial management of cataract and combined traction/rhegmatogenous retinal detachment involving the macula associated with severe prolifera-tive diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive case series including all patients who underwent PPL/PPV/SO for the initial management of cataract and traction/rhegmatogenous retinal detachment involving the macula associated with severe PDR at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 1989 and 2000. Main outcome measures included visual acuity and rates of retinal reattachment and reoperation.
