Staining of Internal Limiting Membrane in Macular Hole Surgery
Abstract
Removal of internal limiting membranes (ILMs) is a potentially useful surgical approach to close an idiopathic macular hole. However, the removal of ILMs is difficult to perform because of poor visibility of the ILMs. We have developed a technique for staining the ILM with a solution of indocyanine green to facilitate the removal of ILMs in eyes with an idiopathic macular hole. Thirteen eyes of 13 patients (8 women and 5 men, aged from 54 to 68 years) with idiopathical macular hole stage 3 or stage 4 that underwent removal of ILMs using this technique had an anatomical closure rate of 92% and an improvement of visual acuity of 89% (>/=2 Snellen letter chart lines). The excised specimens were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy. Our results show that this technique is safe and useful in visualizing the ILM, leading to the performance of successful removal of an ILM with least damage to the retina.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
