Objective: To report whether adjunctive intravitreal (IV) triamcinolone acetonide (TA) (2 mg/0.05 mL) injection provided beter anatomical and functional outcomes in patients having undergone pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling. Material and Methods: A total of 27 eyes of 27 patients with idiopathic ERM were enrolled in and were divided into 2 groups based on having injection of 2 mg/0.05 ml IV TA at the end of the surgery as TA (-) and TA (+) group. ERM was stained with brilliant blue. Mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) from baseline was evaluated at postoperative visits over 6-month follow-up. Results: The mean BCVA improved from 0.35±0.16 logMAR (range: 0.15-0.7) and 0.48±0.30 logMAR (range: 0.15-1.30) at baseline to 0.20±0.16 (range: 0.05-0.5) and 0.34±0.23 logMAR (range: 0.1-1) at postop 6-month in TA (+) group (p=0.020) and TA (-) group (p=0.014), respectively. There was no significant difference in mean BCVA and CMT change at any follow-up visits between the 2 groups (p>0.05 for all visits). IOP remained stable in both groups during follow-up. Conclusion: IV injection of TA did not seem to provide additional benefit for post-operative anatomical and functional outcomes.

Amaç: İdiyopatik epiretinal membran (ERM) soyulması amacıyla pars plana vitrektomi (PPV) uygulanan hastalarda yardımcı intravitreal (IV) triamsinolon asetonid (TA) (2 mg/0.05 mL) enjeksiyonunun daha iyi anatomik ve fonksiyonel sonuçlar sağlayıp sağlamadığını belirlemek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İdiyopatik ERM tanısı alan 27 hastanın toplam 27 gözü dâhil edildi. Hastalar, ameliyat sonunda IV TA (2 mg/0,05) uygulanıp uygulanmamasına göre TA(-) ve TA(+) olarak 2 gruba ayrıldı. ERM boyanması için brilliant mavisi kullanıldı. Olguların en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği (EİDGK), santral makula kalınlığı (SMK) ve göz içi basıncı (GİB)ndaki ortalama değişim, 6 aylık takipleri süresince değerlendirildi. Bulgular: TA (+) grubunda preoperatif olarak, LogMAR eşeline göre 0,35±0,16 (aralık: 0,15-0,7) olan EİDGK postoperatif 6. ayda 0,20±0,16 (aralık: 0,05-0,5) idi (p=0,020). TA (-) grubunda ortalama EDGK preoperatif 0,48±0,30 (aralık: 0,15-1,30) iken postoperatif 6. ayda 0,34±0,23 (aralık: 0,1-1) idi (p=0,014). İki grup arasında takip vizitlerinde ortalama EİDGK ve SMK değişimi açısından anlamlı fark yoktu (tüm vizitler için p>0,05). Takipler sırasında GİB değerleri her 2 grupta da değişim göstermedi. Sonuç: IV TA enjeksiyonu ameliyat sonrası anatomik ve fonksiyonel sonuçlar için ek bir fayda sağlamıyor gibi gözükmektedir.
