Abstract
To investigate the outcomes of removal of the secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Retrospective cese series study. Eighteen consecutive patients (18 eyes) who underwent secondary ERM removal after successful RRD repair were reviewed. The postoperative visual outcomes, intraoperative and postoperative complications and the images of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were analyzed. The mean VA improved from 20/117(logMAR 0.76) preoperatively to 20/81(logMAR 0.60) postoperatively (p = 0.086). The preoperative central foveal thickness of 384.3μm ± 137 decreased to 243.6μm ± 89 postoperatively (p < 0.001). In our series, performing operation to secondary ERM after retinal detachment surgery had clinical and anatomical success.
