Immediate versus delayed dexamethasone implantation during vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema with secondary epiretinal membrane: A retrospective comparative study.

Although this difference did not reach statistical significance, this trend suggests that early intraoperative corticosteroid administration may help achieve more rapid edema control and potentially reduce the need for repeated retreatment in some patients. 29 Therefore, the potential effect of immediate DEX implantation on long-term retreatment burden requires confirmation in larger prospective studies.
