Vitreoretinal interface in relation to surgery on macular disorders
Kalvoda, Jan ; Dušková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Dotřelová, Dagmar (referee) ; Rozsíval, Pavel (referee)
1 Abstract Introduction The vitreoretinal (VR) interface of the eye is a dynamically evolving environment which significantly influences and indicates the course of macular disorders. The main topic of the presented paper is research on the VR interface in relation to surgery on diabetic macular edema (ME), partial macular defects (PMD) and idiopathic macular holes (IMH). Aims The aims of the research were to find out new knowledge about specific characteristics of and changes in the VR interface in eyes with diabetic ME, PMD and IMH, namely with main attention focused on the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina and the epimacular membrane (EMM). Methods Histopathologic and morphometric analyses were carried out on samples of the ILM of the retina and the EMM which were taken during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) of eyes of sets of patients with diabetic ME, PMD and IMH. The analytic results were statistically evaluated and interpreted in relation to clinical factors and anatomical results of the PPV. Results Treatment of diabetic ME with removal of the ILM resulted in improved visual acuity (VA), at minimum 2 lines on the ETDRS table, in 51.8% surgically treated eyes and remained the same in 33.9% of eyes. A comparison study confirmed that PPV with preserving of the ILM achieved a long-term...
