Outcomes of Extensive Brilliant Blue G-Assisted Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling in Retinal Detachment With Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy Using 3D Visualization System
In Brief
An observational study evaluating 3D Pars Plana Vitrectomy associated with Extensive Brilliant Blue G-Assisted ILM Peeling Method for Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to report outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in retinal detachment (RD) accompanied with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after extensive Brilliant Blue G-Assisted internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling using a 3D visualization system. This is retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes treated with PPV for RD repair. The patients were follow for 7 to 47 months (mean follow-up: 14.1 months ).

Timeline
Interventions
After the injection of Brilliant Blue-G (BBG) into the vitreous cavity, the epiretinal membrane (ERM) with cellular proliferation on the surface of the retina did not stain clearly, while the internal limiting membranes did stain clearly. We peeled off the internal limiting membrane (ILM) underlying the ERM using the ILM forceps for the macular area and the serrated forceps for the remaining ILM beyond the vascular arcades (Grieshaber, Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas (Figure1) and enhanced membrane viewing with filters on the Ngenuity system. Restaining with BBG was needed and perfluorocarbon liquid PFCL was injected with a coaxial Dual Bore cannula (MedOne) to flatten the retina.
