PURPOSE: To analyze the results of vitrectomy in @entity6 and to check whether systematic intra- and/or @entity86 is necessary in most cases. @entity1 AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 108 @entity1 records (137 eyes) of vitrectomy performed for complications of @entity6 between 1982 and 2000. Fifty-eight percent of the @entity1 were @entity1 . The average age was 44 years. Sixty percent of the @entity1 presented with @entity1723 . Only 39% of the eyes had complete preoperative panretinal photocoagulation. Preoperative visual acuity was lower than 2/200 in 81% of eyes, 27% presenting initially with traction @entity1713 involving the macula. The surgical technique used was segmentation-delamination. Endodiathermy was necessary in 45% of the eyes and intraoperative photocoagulation was not performed. @entity86 was carried out in only 9% of the eyes. RESULTS: Results were analyzed with an average follow-up of 66 months. Anatomical success was obtained in 69% of the eyes, with 55% visual improvement. These results were unchanging at long-term follow-up in 95% of the eyes studied. @entity937 were observed in 8% of the eyes. @entity260 were dominated by single (8%) or recurrent @entity548 (8%). The rate of postoperative @entity2297 was approximately 5%. These results are similar to the rates reported by other authors using intraoperative endophotocoagulation. CONCLUSION: Intra- and/or @entity86 should not be systematic but reserved for management of @entity937 and also for extensive panretinal photocoagulation in recurrent @entity548 .
