Internal limiting membrane peeling is performed during vitrectomy for macular diseases such as macular holes, macular edema due to diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. The incidence of epiretinal membrane formation after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous detachment has been reported to range from 4.4% to 12.8%. In this study, the efficacy and safety of internal limiting membrane peeling will be studied in vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and if it is essential to peel it in those cases or not.
interventional observational study comparing vitrectomy with versus without internal limiting membrane peeling in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
