Perfluorocarbon liquid vitreous delamination and wide-angle viewing system in the management of complicated diabetic retinal detachment.

摘要

I read with interest the article by Dr. Yadarola et al entitled "Perfluorocarbon liquid vitreous delamination and wide-angle viewing system in the management of complicated diabetic retinal detachment" (1). The authors used perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) and a wide-angle viewing system (WAVS) to evaluate their efficacy on tractional and combined tractional/rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This technique resulted in "less bleeding during surgery, a better identification of intraocular structures, faster retinal reattachment, subretinal fluid reabsorption, and easier dissection of fibrovascular membranes." The authors conclude that PFCL and WAVS appear to reduce intraoperative complication rates in the management of complicated cases of tractional and combined tractional/rhegmatogenous RD secondary to PDR.
