OBJECTIVE: To observe the effectiveness of intravenous sodium fluorescein visibility in the vitreous during vitrectomy surgery in patients with diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Fourteen consecutive cases of vitreoretinal surgery for vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment secondary to diabetic retinopathy underwent intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein to 20% 1 hour before the surgery. The images of the steps of the surgeries were recorded. RESULTS: The sodium fluorescein stained green from the vitreous peripheral, vitreous base, posterior hyaloid, further improving visibility to […]

OBJETIVO: Observar a eficácia da fluoresceína sódica intravenosa, na visibilidade do vítreo, durante a cirurgia de vitrectomia nos pacientes com retinopatia diabética. MÉTODOS: Quatorze casos consecutivos de cirurgia vitreorretiniana para hemorragia vítrea e descolamento tracional da retina secundário à retinopatia diabética, foram submetidos à injeção de fluoresceína intravenosa a 20%, 1 hora antes da cirurgia.As imagens de todos os passos das cirurgias foram gravadas. RESULTADOS: A fluoresceína corou de verde o vítreo periférico, base vítrea, hialóide posterior melhorando a visibilidade […]
