Complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy have become the major indications of vitrectomy. The surgery, however, is not basically a causative therapy. The visual function after operation depends on the degree of retinal ischemia and damage induced. The surgery itself has a potential for severe complications. Therefore it is important to better understand the pathology and to master surgical strategy and techniques in order to improve surgical outcomes and reduce the surgical complications.
