Abstract
- Background: The aim of this study was to examine the change in retinal thickness after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and/or silicone oil (SO) endotamponade in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods: The actual amount and ratio of changes in the retinal thickness were calculated. Results: Compared to control eyes in the ILM peeling (-)/SO (-) group, the central, superior inner and temporal inner retina in the ILM peeling (+)/SO (-) group, the central and superior inner retina in the ILM peeling (-)/SO (+) group and the central, inferior inner, temporal inner and nasal inner retina in the ILM peeling (+)/ SO (+) group showed a significant reduction of the retinal thickness. The central, superior inner and temporal inner retina in the ILM peeling (+)/SO (-) group, the central and superior inner retina in the ILM peeling (-)/SO (+) group and the central, superior inner, inferior inner and temporal inner retina in the ILM peeling (+)/SO (+) group showed a significantly increased reduction rate of the retinal thickness compared to the control group. Conclusions: Macular retinal thinning in PDR was observed after ILM peeling and SO endotamponade and it was increased by the combination of these 2 factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
