| Abstract | Purpose: To determine the concordance rate between the surgeons intraoperative diagnosis and the histopathological diagnosis of epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane peeled in macular surgery.
Methods: We prospectively evaluated 113 cases of macular disorders treated with vitrectomy and membranectomy.
Results: The overall concordance rate was 60.2%. There was significant difference between surgeons' intraoperative diagnoses and the histopathological diagnoses (P = .018), independent of surgical experience, use of intraoperative stains and patient's diagnosis.
Conclusion: Histological confirmation is essential as the membrane that was peeled may not necessarily correspond to the membrane that one attempted to peel. |
