Aaberg jr surgical management for diabetic retinopathy 2014
1. Surgical Management of Diabetic
Retinopathy
Thomas Aaberg Jr. M.D.
Retina Specialist of Michigan
Michigan State University
2. Management of complications
from Proliferative diabetic
retinopathy
Pars plana vitrectomy is the procedure
of choice for vitreous hemorrhage and
tractional retinal detachment
4. Pathogenesis Review:
Surgical Intervention for TRD
Hypoxia and angiogenic
factors, eg. VEGF
Neovascular and
fibrovascular proliferation
that extends from the
retina into the vitreous
cavity
Cycle of proliferation and
regression along the
posterior margin of
capillary non-perfusion
Vitreous Surgery. In Michels RG, Wilkinson CP and Rice TA eds. Retinal Detachment. St. Louis, 1990, Mosby, p. 814
5. Pathogenesis Review:
Surgical Intervention for TRD
Neovascular proliferation
usually begins:
at the optic nerve
along temporal
vascular arcades
mid-periphery at the
posterior margin of
capillary non-
perfusion
Vitreous Surgery. In Michels RG, Wilkinson CP and Rice TA eds. Retinal Detachment. St. Louis, 1990, Mosby, p. 814
6. Pathogenesis Review:
Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Initially “bare”
Later, fibrous tissue appears
Vitreoretinal adhesions form
Cycle of proliferation and
regression
7. Pathogenesis Review:
Surgical Intervention for TRD
Growth of fibrovascular tissue is
dependent on posterior vitreous surface
Changes in vitreous occur, often resulting
in partial posterior vitreous detachment
Vitreous typically remains attached at
anterior retina/vitreous base and at each
area of fibrovascular proliferation
Vitreous Surgery. In Michels RG, Wilkinson CP and Rice TA eds. Retinal Detachment. St. Louis, 1990, Mosby, p. 815
8. Pathogenesis Review:
Surgical Intervention for TRD
Contraction of
fibrovascular tissue
growing along posterior
vitreous surface can cause
vitreous changes and
antero-posterior traction.
In the absence of vitreous
separation, widespread
adhesions to the retinal
surface may develop

9. Pathogenesis Review:
Surgical Intervention for TRD
Contraction forces may
lead to:
Hemorrhage into vitreous
gel or preretinal space
Tractional retinal
detachment (TRD)
Distortion of retina/macula
Antero-posterior and
tangential traction
Traction on the optic nerve
Retinal tears
Vitreous Surgery. In Michels RG, Wilkinson CP and Rice TA eds. Retinal Detachment. St. Louis, 1990, Mosby, p. 816
13. Surgical Intervention for TRD
Purpose
Reverse pre-existing complications
causing visual loss
Alter course of retinopathy and remove
posterior vitreous surface
Vitreous Surgery. In Michels RG, Wilkinson CP and Rice TA eds. Retinal Detachment. St. Louis, 1990, Mosby, p. 816
14. Surgical Intervention for TRD
Posterior vitreous
surface is of great
importance in
pathogenesis and
complications of
proliferative
diabetic retinopathy
and must be
addressed during
vitreous surgery
Vitreous Surgery. In Michels RG, Wilkinson CP and Rice TA eds. Retinal Detachment. St. Louis, 1990, Mosby, p. 816
15. Surgical Intervention for TRD
Surgical objectives
Remove visually significant opacities
Excise posterior hyaloid
Remove and/or segment preretinal or
epiretinal fibrovascular tissue
Identify & treat retinal breaks
Hemostasis
Panretinal photocoagulation
Tamponade as needed

17. More rapid recovery of useful vision (important if fellow eye
has poor vision)
Greater chance for recovery of good vision (at least Type I DM
who were younger and had more severe PDR)
Suggestive increase in frequency of NLP in Type II and mixed
DM groups (older patients with less PDR)

Recent Severe Diabetic Vitreous
Hemorrhage
18. Diabetic Retinopathy
Vitrectomy Study
Eyes (n = 370) with fibrovascular
proliferation and 20/400 or better VA
Results: 20/40 or better VA at 4 years
Early surgery: 44% eyes
Deferred surgery: 28% eyes

diabetic TRD involving macula

Rates of success can vary
based on patient
population, pathology and
access to health care

23. Advanced Diabetic Vitrectomy
Begins Pre-operatively
Maximize systemic health/stability
Concentrate on renal status
Work with primary care physician,
endocrinologist, nephrologist
Properly educate patient
Pathophysiology
Extent of disease
Proper patient expectations
24. Immediate Pre-Operative
Anti-VEGF … Yes or No
Literature supporting
both pro and con
Personally I use IF:
I know the patient will be
compliant
I know the surgical case is
a GO
There is active NV not just
traction or hemorrhage.
25. Why be concerned about anti-
VEGF use?
Immediate concern:
Delayed surgery may
lead to progressive
severe vitreoretinal
contraction
Longer term concern:
Rebound proliferation
once anti-VEGF effect
dissipates.
26. Step 2: Surgical Planning
Game changing advances in
surgical instrumentation.
27. Surgical Planning/Decisions
Anesthesia: General vs Local
Gauge: 20 vs 23 vs 25 vs 27
Lens disposition
Pseudophakic
Phakic
Unencumbered view of pathology
Compromises view
Keep or remove the lens with or without an IOL
Bimanual versus “uni”-manual approach
28. Chosen Surgical Gauge was largely
dictated by number of available
instruments
Vitrectomy probes
High speed cutters
Different edge profiles
