To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined pars plana vitrectomy and planned foveal detachment through subretinal injection of ringer's solution in patients with non-tractional refractory diabetic macular edema.
In non-tractional cases, PPV allows a more efficient clearance of VEGF and other cytokines from the retina and improves retinal oxygenation by promotion of intraocular fluid currents, and relief of any subclinical tractional forces, thereby reducing DME.
