Abstract:AIM:To investigate the outcome of the anteroposterior surgery combined with silicone oil implantation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR).METHODS:Totally 51 eyes of 43 PDR patients underwent anteroposterior surgery combined with silicone oil implantation from March 2008 to June 2011,whose postoperative best-corrected visual activity,reattachment of retina and complications were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS:Totally 39 eyes(76%) showed improved visual acuity postoperatively.9 eyes(18%) showed unimproved.3 eyes(6%) showed vision impaired.All eyes(100%) showed anatomic repair of retinal detachment after the surgery.4 eyes occurred retinal detachment after silicon oil dislodgment,anatomically repaired after second surgery.CONCLUSION:Anteroposterior surgery combined with silicone oil implantation,which can improve visual acuity postoperatively,to avoid the complications of cataract surgery and decrease the incidence rate of rehaemorrhagia and retinal detachment after vitrectomy,is safe and effective in treating patients with PDR.
