Résumé
Purpose:To report the functional, anatomic outcome and safety profile of 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with peeling and intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM).
Methods:Retrospective, nonrandomized study of consecutive patients who underwent 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless PPV with subsequent membrane peeling and intravitreal TA injection for an idiopathic ERM. All patients were operated between February 2007 and February 2008 at the Jules Gonin University Eye Hospital. The minimum follow-up was 6-months.
Results:Thirty-nine eyes of 39 patients were included. The mean follow-up was 7 months (SD: 2.2, range: 6-15 months). Twenty-two (56%) eyes were pseudophakic and 17 (44%) were phakic at the time of surgery. Mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 14 mmHg (SD: 3.5). At the final follow-up mean IOP was 14.5 (SD: 2.7) that did not differ significantly from the IOP at baseline (P: 0.14- 2-tailed t test). Five patients (13%) needed temporary topical anti-glaucoma treatment.Mean preoperative BCVA was 0.28 decimal equivalent (logMAR 0.54, SD: 0.2, range: 1.0 - 0.2). and improved significantly (P <0.0001, 2-tailed t test) to a mean of 0.6 decimal equivalent (logMAR 0.22, SD: 0.16, range: 0.6 - 0) at the final follow-up. The visual acuity improved by a mean of 3.2 lines (SD 2.1, range 0- 8). Twenty-nine patients (74%) demonstrated a gain of 3 or more lines.Mean central macular thickness (CMT) was 456 µm (SD: 77) at the baseline that reduced significantly (P <0.0001, 2-tailed t test) at the final follow-up to 327µm (SD: 79). Average CMT reduction was 131µm (SD: 77, range: 36- 380 µm). A subgroup analysis of 15 selected cases that had CMT measurement 1 week after surgery demonstrated that 84% of the total final reduction in CMT occurred during the first week.
Conclusions:23-gauge sutureless transconjunctival vitrectomy with the concomitant administration of intravitreal TA is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of idiopathic ERM and may speed up anatomical recovery.
