Demographic, Clinical, and Surgical Risk Factors of Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) for Neovascular Glaucoma (NVG) Development in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Multiple preoperative and intraoperative factors influence the development of NVG post-PPV. Prolonged T2DM duration, elevated preoperative IOP, high VEGF levels, and specific intraoperative techniques significantly increase the risk of NVG. These findings underscore the importance of careful preoperative assessment and tailored intraoperative strategies to mitigate NVG risk in PPV patients.
