After 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomies for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, postoperative hypotony and the need for tamponade increased the rates of immediate and recurrent PVH, respectively. Immediate PVH occurred in 45.2% of the patients but did not affect early visual recovery. A 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy resulted in a favorable incidence of recurrent PVH (11.8%) during the first 6 months.
