Internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal aids macular surgery, but staining dyes like indocyanine green (ICG) raise safety concerns. Further research is needed to evaluate ICG toxicity and explore safer vital dyes for ILM peeling.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Context:

  • Surgical techniques for macular hole, macular pucker, and vitreoretinal diseases have advanced, improving outcomes.
  • Internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal is widely accepted for vitreoretinal interface conditions.
  • ILM visibility and removal present challenges for surgeons.

Purpose:

  • To review the role of vital dyes in enhancing ILM visibility and facilitating ILM peeling during macular surgery.
  • To discuss the safety and potential toxicity of vital dyes, particularly indocyanine green (ICG).
  • To highlight the need for further research into ICG safety margins and alternative vital dyes.

Summary:

  • Vital dyes improve the visualization of the delicate ILM and epiretinal membranes, aiding surgeons in ILM peeling.

  • While trypan blue and triamcinolone appear safe, indocyanine green (ICG) toxicity is under investigation.
  • Understanding the pathomechanisms of ICG toxicity is crucial for assessing its safety as a surgical adjunct.

    • Impact:

    • Enhanced ILM visualization can make macular surgery more controllable, easier, and safer, especially for less experienced surgeons.
    • Investigating ICG toxicity is essential for determining its appropriate use and potential risks.
    • The development of vital dyes with better safety profiles could further improve surgical outcomes in retinal diseases.
