Epiretinal Macular Membrane and Cataract Extraction
- Conditions
- Epiretinal Macular MembraneCataract Extraction
- Interventions
- Procedure: Combined surgeryProcedure: Consecutive surgery
- Registration Number
- NCT00851760
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon
- Brief Summary
The investigators proposed to assess the functional and anatomical outcomes of cataract and idiopathic epiretinal macular membrane extraction in combined and consecutive surgeries.
- Detailed Description
A retrospective nonrandomized clinical case series study collected 174 consecutive eyes of 174 patients undergoing macular surgery between January 2005 and December 2006. Patients suffering from epiretinal macular membranes (ERM) secondary to uveitis, trauma, or associated with a simultaneous retinal detachment (RD) were excluded. We treated 109 eyes with a combined procedure (group 1) and 65 eyes with a consecutive surgery (membrane surgery and cataract separately)(group 2).
