Characteristics and Outcomes of Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Patients in a Limited Resource Tertiary Center over an Eight-Year Period.

This study reported an improvement in visual acuity in nearly half of patients receiving PPV for PDR-associated complications in a limited resource center. The incidence of intraoperative retinal break and early postoperative VH decreased significantly with the application of IVB injections. Poor final visual outcomes were related to the lower initial visual acuity levels, intraoperative retinal breaks, and postoperative retained silicone oil.
