About this study

A retrospective nonrandomized clinical case series study collected 174 consecutive eyes of 174 patients undergoing macular surgery between January 2005 and December 2006. Patients suffering from epiretinal macular membranes (ERM) secondary to uveitis, trauma, or associated with a simultaneous retinal detachment (RD) were excluded. We treated 109 eyes with a combined procedure (group 1) and 65 eyes with a consecutive surgery (membrane surgery and cataract separately)(group 2).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • All patients had symptomatic visual loss and needed vitrectomy for ERM removal.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients suffering from ERM secondary to uveitis, trauma, or associated with a simultaneous RD were excluded.

Treatment and study plan

Consecutive surgery

Procedure

Consecutive surgery for epiretinal macular membrane and cataract extraction

combined surgery

Procedure

Combined surgery for epiretinal macular membrane and cataract extraction

Primary outcomes

  1. Combined and consecutive surgeries are effective procedures to treat idiopathic ERM. The functional and anatomical results are equivalent in both procedures.
