Intraoperative optic coherence tomography in vitreoretinal surgery

Publication |
2017

Abstract

To provide a survey of the current clinical use of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT), especially in the context of our own vitreo-retinal experience. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of casuistic cases of typical diseases of the retina, which were treated by standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using iOCT integrated into an operating microscope OPMI Lumera 700 / Rescan 700 (Zeiss).

Auxiliary techniques: best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was tested on ETDRS charts, biomicroscopy was performed using a 78D lens, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) using Zeiss Cirrus equipment. Operations were carried out under retrobulbar anaesthesia by three-port 23G PPV and using a Constellation surgical unit (ALCON).
