Introduction to Retinal Membrane Removal Surgery 

Retinal Membrane Peeling is a specialized vitreoretinal surgery performed to remove abnormal scar tissue or delicate membranes from the surface of the retina. The procedure helps improve retinal function and restore clearer vision by relieving traction on the retina. It is commonly performed for conditions affecting the macula that cause visual distortion or reduced central vision.

Precision Microsurgical Removal of Retinal Surface Membranes

This procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s condition and the complexity of the retinal disease. The eye and surrounding area are prepared with antiseptic solutions and covered using sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to establish a clean and contamination-free surgical field. Small micro-incisions are created through the pars plana, and a vitrectomy system is used to remove the vitreous gel, providing clear access to the retinal surface. Using high-magnification surgical microscopes and delicate microsurgical forceps, the surgeon carefully peels the abnormal membrane while preserving the underlying retinal tissue. In selected cases, special staining dyes are used to improve visualization of the membrane and ensure complete removal with minimal retinal trauma. After confirming retinal stability, sterile ophthalmic disposables are applied to support healing and minimize the risk of postoperative infection.
