The posterior hyaloid phase in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is usually thick, taut and firmly adherent to the underlying retina at multiple sites. Induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is often difficult due to strong attachments at the disc and areas of neovascularization, and frequent presence of vitreoschisis. Video clips demonstrating successful PVD induction in difficult situation, management of dense subhyaloid hemorrhage in PDR, dissection of thick and firmly adherent fibrovascular fronds in advanced end-stage PDR, and use of perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCL) during diabetic vitrectomy will be presented.
