Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectivity of limited vitrectomy in patients with epiretinal membrane. Methods: We included 58 consecutive patients who underwent epiretinal membrane surgery without performing a complete peripheral vitreous removal. The improvement in visual acuity, the incidence of retinal breaks and detachment; anatomical results and intraoperative and postoperative complications of this technique were evaluated. Results: The median visual acuity was 0.4 0.3-0.5 before the surgery, and it was 0.6 0.3-0.8 after the surgery p=0.016 . Prophylactic laser photocoagulation was performed in 14 24,13% patients during surgery. Retinal breaks and detachments did not occur in any of our patients. We did not observe proliferative vitreoretinopathy or surgery- related major complications in any patient. Conclusion: Limited vitrectomy without removing peripheral vitreous is safe and effective in idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery. It reduces the risk of peripheral retinal breaks and retinal detachment.

Abstract
Amaç: Epiretinal membran nedeni ile vitreoretinal cerrahi uygulanan hastalarda sınırlı vitrektomi uygulamasının güvenliğinin ve etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi Hastalar ve Yöntem: Sınırlı vitrektomi uygulanan epiretinal membranlı 58 hastanın bulguları değerlendirildi. Görme keskinliğindeki artış, operasyon sırasında oluşan periferik yırtıklar ve retina dekolmanı gelişimi sıklığı, anatomik sonuçlar, intraoperatif ve postoperatif komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Median görme keskinliği ameliyat öncesi 0.4 0.3-0.5 , ameliyat sonrası 0.6 0.3-0.8 olarak bulundu p=0.016 . Ondört hastaya 24,13% operasyon sırasında profilaktik laser fotokoagulasyon yapıldı. Hiç bir hastada operasyon sırasında retina yırtığı ve retina dekolmanı gelişmedi. Hiç bir hastada sınırlı vitrektomiye bağlı proliferatif vitreoretinopati ve komplikasyon oluşmadı. Sonuç: Periferik vitreusu temizlemden yapılan sınırlı vitrektomi, epiretinal membranı olan hastaların tedavisinde etkili ve güvenli bir yöntemdi. Bu yöntem hastalarda periferik retina yırtıkları ve retina dekolmanı riskini azaltmaktadır
