Retinal and Macular Surgery
Retinal and Macular Surgery is a research topic within Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging. Science Explorer counts 28k research works in it since 1950. 15.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores advancements in vitreoretinal surgery techniques, including the use of sutureless vitrectomy systems, internal limiting membrane peeling, and indocyanine green-assisted procedures for conditions such as macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. It also delves into the management of retinal detachment, myopia-related macular pathologies, and the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in evaluating surgical outcomes.
