Summary

this study is to analyze and compare the ultrastructure of the retinal and vitreous plane of the epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane removed during macular surgery and to evaluate relation between the ultrastructure of the epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane and surgical outcomes.

Conditions

  • Macular Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

vitrectomy for macular disease

three-port pars plana vitrectomy was performed in each case using a vitreous cutter surrounded by a coaxial optic fiber connected to a xenon light source (Lausanne set, Oertli, Switzerland-developed at Jules Gonin, Lausanne, by Gonvers and Bovey). Separation of the posterior hyaloid membrane was performed when necessary. Visualization of the fundus was achieved with a special noncontact wide-angle viewing system 37 during vitrectomy and with a planoconcave contact lens for macular peeling. The MEM was peeled in the macular area using an end gripping forceps.
