Abstract

Diabetic Tractional Retinal Detachment cases having Flat Sticky Fibro-Vascular Membranes without a PVD are some of the most challenging Diabetic Vitrectomy surgery cases. In such cases, the most commonly used approach is to find a true membrane edge to start dissection, which not only is hard to find but many a time gets you in the false surgical plane due to vitreoschisis. These cases often have long surgical times & high complication rates. We describe a safe & efficient method of managing these cases using our Mini-PVD Technique which is used to create a membrane edge to start membrane dissection, rather than searching for one, reducing complications related to vitreoschisis & improving outcomes. In this video compilation, we demonstrate our “Mini-PVD Technique” in 4 Complex Flat Sticky Membrane PDR Tractional Retinal Detachment cases & highlight the advantages offered by this technique i.e. increased ease, efficiency, safety along with reduced surgical time & complication rates.
