Three-year results of combined pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification in diabetic vitreous hemorrhage

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety complications following combined pars plana vitrectomy phacoemulsification surgery eyes for management vitreous hemorrhage due proliferative diabetic retinopathy as well pronounced cataracts.
 Material Method: Phacoemulsification 23G procedures were performed cataracts. Age, gender, best-corrected visual acuity before after surgery, intra- post-operative recorded in patients with cataracts who underwent hemorrhage.
 Results: A total 40 patients, 22 females (55%) 18 males, included study. mean age 58.7±7.1 (44–76) years. Logmar changed from a 2.82±0.5 preoperatively 0.7±0.6 postoperatively. Visual increased 38 (95%) No reduction observed any eye. Complications associated transient intraocular pressure increase (12 eyes), hyphema (2 posterior capsule rupture (1 eye), anterior chamber fibrin exudation (4 neovascular glaucoma retinal detachment opacification eyes).
 Conclusion: It found that PPV safe effective retinopathy. Combined phaco-vitrectomy is reliable method minimum complication profile prevents need subsequent cataract surgery.
