A PHYSICIAN REPORTED THROUGH A LITERATURE STUDY REGARDING THE UTILIZATION OF INTRAOPERATIVE OCT (IOCT) GUIDANCE FOR THE REMOVAL OF EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE (ERM) AND INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE (ILM). THIS PROCEDURE INVOLVED THE USE OF OPHTHALMIC FORCEPS WITH A LASER-ABLATED TIP SURFACE. THE STUDY INCLUDED PATIENTS WHO HAD UNDERGONE 23- AND 25-GAUGE PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY (PPV) TO ADDRESS VITREORETINAL INTERFACE DISORDERS. THE SURGERY INVOLVED FACILITATING THE REMOVAL OF ERM AND ILM USING MICROSCOPE-INTEGRATED IOCT AND OPHTHALMIC FORCEPS. IN ADDITION, TWO PATIENTS WITH IDIOPATHIC MACULAR PUCKER DISEASE WHO HAD UNDERGONE VITRECTOMY EXPERIENCED RETINAL HEMORRHAGE. SUBSEQUENT IOCT VIDEO ANALYSIS CONDUCTED AFTER THE SURGERY REVEALED HYPERREFLECTIVITY OF THE INNER RETINAL LAYERS, WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH RETINAL HEMORRHAGE IN BOTH PATIENTS.
