Rétinopathie diabétique vasoproliférante : complications vitréorétiniennes et photocoagulation rétinienne incomplète

Our results confirm the benefit of vitreoretinal surgery in complications related to vasoproliferative diabetic retinopathy. Moreover, it should be emphasized that complications requiring surgery often result from incomplete preoperative photocoagulation. To be effective, photocoagulation has to destroy more than 35% and up to 50% of photoreceptors. An intraoperative laser extension can reduce the risk of regrowth of fibrovascular membranes.
