Abstract
INTRODUCTION: PDR (proliferative diabetic retinopathy) is one of the most frequently microvascular complication of the diabetic retinopathy. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to assess results of microsurgical and laser treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study were included 110 patints with PDR treated at the Eye's Clinic in Prishtina, from 2005-2010. There was followed the PRP-laser treatment and that one of microsurgical like cryotherapy and vitrectomy. We have used statistical methods of processing and analysis. RESULTS: With PRP were treated 66 cases, in 18 cases or 27% we had an improvement, in 35 cases or 53% stabilization and in 13 cases or 20% worsening. With CCT were treated 25 cases, in 2 cases or 8% improvement, in 18 cases or 72% stabilization and in 5 cases or 20% worsening and with vitrectomy were treated 19 cases, in 11 cases or 58% improvement, in 6 cases or 32% stabilization and in 2 cases or 10% worsening of the postoperative clinical treatment. The most frequently complications are vitreous hemorrhage with 38.6% and blindness up to 20.5%. CONCLUSION: In cases where the PDR is present, we have to advise the patients to undergo the PRP, CCT or vitrectomy in order to prevent the vitreous hemorrhage and its heavy complications.
