About

Internal limiting membrane peeling is performed during vitrectomy for macular diseases such as macular holes, macular edema due to diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion.

The incidence of epiretinal membrane formation after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous detachment has been reported to range from 4.4% to 12.8%.

In this study, the efficacy and safety of internal limiting membrane peeling will be studied in vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and if it is essential to peel it in those cases or not.

Full description

interventional observational study comparing vitrectomy with versus without internal limiting membrane peeling in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Enrollment: 60 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 73 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• All eyes with recent macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Exclusion criteria

• Complicated cases with advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
• Patients with retinal vascular disorders and other macular disorders.
• Combined tractional and rhegmatogenous detachment.
• Previous retinal reattachment surgery or Intravitreal injections.
• Glaucomatous patients.
• Patients with corneal opacity which impairs good visualization.
