Abstract
To evaluate whether patients with macular pucker (epiretinal membrane [ERM]) and good
preoperative visual acuity (20/50 or better) benefit from small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy
with membrane peeling.
To compare the safety and functional outcomes of 25-gauge and 23-gauge (G) micro-incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) instrumentation with the standard 20-G vitrectomy system in the treatment of epiretinal membranes (ERM).
To report both the functional and anatomic outcome and safety profile of 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with membrane peeling and intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide in eyes with idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes.
