Curative effect of extra-panretinal photocoagulation on proliferative diabetic retinopathy during vitreous operation

AIM: To discuss the curative effect of extra-panretinal photocoagulation on proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)during vitreous operation. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 70 diabetic retinopathy patients(70 eyes)who accepted vitreous surgery in our hospital due to vitreous hemorrhage or vitreous retina traction change from March 2011 to March 2013. In follow-up clinics, according to the difference of patient's retinal photo-coagulation range, we divided it into extra-panretinal photocoagulation group(40 patients)and panretinal photocoagulation(30 patients), respectively observed the best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure and retinal vessel changes in two groups and made statistical analysis. RESULTS: Through comparing the eye condition, visual acuity after 3mo, intraocular pressure between the two groups patients, the difference had no statistical significance(all of the P>0.05). Comparing the incidence of retinal blood vessel leak, posterior pole exudate, and posterior pole bleeding points in two groups patients, the difference had statistically significant(all of the P
