Clinical Trial Summary

Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is one of the most widely used surgical therapies to proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the world. However, as a predictable consequence of PPV surgery, postoperative cataract is observed in 79%-95% of phakic diabetes retinopathy patients after PPV in 6-24 months and a subsequent cataract surgery is usually required. While, the subsequent cataract surgeries not only bring additional economy and workload burden, but also increase the surgical risks. Since the two-step surgical approach has its defects, the combination of PPV and phacoemulsification is an ideal surgical option. This study is a multi-center prospective study, aimed to evaluate the effect of PPV combined with phacoemulsification cataract surgery in phakic diabetes retinopathy patients, and make a comparation between the combined surgery and the two-step surgery in patients without severe lens opacities.


Clinical Trial Description

The prevalence of diabetes retinopathy is increasing dramatically recent years. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is one of the most widely used surgical therapies to proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the world. However, as a predictable consequence of PPV surgery, postoperative cataract is observed in 79%-95% of phakic diabetes retinopathy patients after PPV in 6-24 months.Generally, subsequent cataract surgeries are required for the phakic patients within 6-16 months after the PPV surgery to improve visualization. While, the subsequent cataract surgeries not only bring additional economy and workload burden, but also increase the surgical risks because of the deep anterior chamber, zonular dehiscence, and inflammation. Since the two-step surgical approach has its defects, the combination of PPV and phacoemulsification is an ideal surgical option, which is only suggested in patients with severe lens opacities before the PPV surgery so far. For those with mild-moderate lens opacities, the benefits of combined surgery is unknown. This study is a multi-center prospective study, aimed to evaluate the effect of PPV combined with phacoemulsification cataract surgery in phakic diabetes retinopathy patients, and make a comparation between the combined surgery and the two-step surgery in patients without severe lens opacities. ;
