Abstract

THERE HAS BEEN PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE STAGE OF PROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AT WHICH SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS ARE DONE. SD OCT ALLOWS US TO DETECT TRACTION ON MACULA FROM NEOVASCULAR COMPLEXES. YOUNGER PATIENTS WITH PDR AND NVCS AFFECTING MACULA NEED EARLY SURGERY. RESULTS OF DIABETIC VITRECTOMY HAVE IMPROVED , BUT MANAGEMENT OF PDR EYES WITH ACTIVE VASCULAR NVCS POSES A NEW CHALLENGE. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES DESCRIBE SEGMENTING OR DELAMINATION OF FIBROTIC MEMBRANES FROM FIBROSED ISCHEMIC RETINA RESULTING FROM MULTI-STAGED LASER AND PERSISTENT TRACTION. WE NEED TO INTERVENE EARLY FOR THESE CASES AND THERE IS NEED TO IMPROVISE SURGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING PDR EYES WITH PRESERVED VISION AND VASCULAR NVCS. COURSE INTENDS TO DEMONSTRATE THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND THE TRICKS FOR ACHIEVING HEMOSTASIS, FINDING RIGHT PLANES, CONTROLLING OOZES, IATROGENIC BREAKS AND MODIFIED TECHNIQUES IN A VIDEO-BASED COURSE. LONG TERM FOLLOW UP WILL ALSO BE SHARED
