The introduction of vitreoretinal microsurgery has produced a new type of biopsy; that of the vitreoretinal membrane. This review investigates methods by which these scar-like tissues are handled in the laboratory and explores the implications of the results of such evaluations. The study of vitreoretinal membrane biopsies has provided much information concerning the pathobiology of the various conditions which may give rise to the tissue as well as insights into how membranes themselves develop. Moreover, the application of new laboratory techniques is expected to enhance our understanding of the formation of vitreoretinal membranes, and lead to further advances in their surgical and medical management.
玻璃体视网膜显微手术的引入产生了一种新型活检方式，即玻璃体视网膜膜活检。本综述研究了在实验室中处理这些瘢痕样组织的方法，并探讨了此类评估结果的意义。对玻璃体视网膜膜活检的研究提供了许多有关可能导致该组织形成的各种病症的病理生物学信息，以及对膜自身如何形成的见解。此外，新实验室技术的应用有望增进我们对玻璃体视网膜膜形成的理解，并在其手术和药物治疗方面取得进一步进展。
