To descriptively report the advantages and the feasibility of microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (i-OCT) in managing different vitreoretinal diseases in a real-life setting.
We conducted an observational retrospective study involving 265 eyes that underwent elective retinal surgery and intraoperative OCT between 1 September 2018 and 1 October 2022 at Eyecare Clinic (Brescia, Italy).
52 epiretinal membranes, 30 retinal detachments, 60 high myopic eyes, 30 choroidal transplants, 40 macular holes, and 32 vitreo-proliferative retinopathies underwent vitreoretinal surgery and intraoperative OCT scans. The i-OCT was a useful diagnostic exam for all cases and significantly influenced our surgical management.
i-OCT is a helpful surgical tool in ophthalmic surgery as it provides real-time feedback of tissue anatomy to surgeons, thereby guiding decision-making. Moreover, it provides additional information on the microarchitectural changes after instrument-tissue interactions, further guiding procedures when necessary and possibly reducing unessential surgical maneuvers.
描述性报告显微镜集成术中光学相干断层扫描(i-OCT)在实际临床环境中处理不同玻璃体视网膜疾病的优势和可行性。
我们进行了一项观察性回顾性研究,纳入了2018年9月1日至2022年10月1日期间在意大利布雷西亚眼科诊所接受选择性视网膜手术和术中OCT检查的265只眼。
52例视网膜前膜、30例视网膜脱离、60例高度近视眼、30例脉络膜移植、40例黄斑裂孔和32例玻璃体增殖性视网膜病变接受了玻璃体视网膜手术和术中OCT扫描。i-OCT对所有病例都是一种有用的诊断检查,并显著影响了我们的手术管理。
i-OCT是眼科手术中一种有用的手术工具,因为它能为外科医生提供组织解剖结构的实时反馈,从而指导决策。此外,它还能提供器械与组织相互作用后微观结构变化的额外信息,在必要时进一步指导手术操作,并可能减少不必要的手术操作。
