Triamcinolone-assisted pars plana vitrectomy effectively aids internal limiting membrane peeling for retinal diseases. This safe and cost-effective method enhances visualization and offers an alternative to dyes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is crucial for treating various retinal diseases.
  • Visualization of the ILM can be challenging during surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-assisted pars plana vitrectomy for ILM peeling.
  • To assess TA's utility in visualizing the ILM across diverse retinal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 21 patients undergoing TA-assisted pars plana vitrectomy.
  • Indications included epiretinal membrane, macular edema, retinal detachment, and macular hole.

Main Results:

  • TA facilitated ILM removal in all cases.
  • No intraoperative complications or toxicity were observed.

  • Visual acuity improved by at least 2 Snellen lines in 11 patients.
  • Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative TA significantly improves ILM visualization.
    • TA-assisted ILM peeling is safe, cost-effective, and a viable alternative to dyes.
    • This technique shows promise for various retinal pathologies.
