Short-Term Surgical Outcomes of 25-Gauge Vitrectomy for Epiretinal Membrane with Good Visual Acuity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The symptoms of idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM) of the macula are blurred vision caused by the retinal dysfunction including photoreceptor dysfunction and metamorphopsia caused by retinal distortion. Surgical removal of ERM is reportedly associated with few complications, and surgical results are generally good [15]. Furthermore, we reported treating ERM and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling using brilliant blue G staining to be effective and safe in reducing the risk of recurrence [6]. Currently, conjunctival microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) with 25-gauge (G) or 23-G instrumentation is safe, effective and significantly reduces surgical time [7]. The advent of MIVS achieved these advantages of ERM surgery [7,8].
