Surgical Treatment Approaches and Membrane Peeling Techniques in Diabetic Tractional Detachment

Vitreoretinal surgeons usually classify diabetic tractional retinal detachments as macular/non-macular involvement. However, the conditions requiring surgical treatment in advanced diabetic patients have changed due to the technical and instrumentation developments that have occurred in the last 20 years, especially in vitreoretinal surgery. Non-regressive intravitreal hemorrhages, which are classic indications, have gone far beyond the indications of traction retinal detachment that holds the macula, and are moving to a stage where early vitrectomy will soon replace them.
