http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2008/congress/The-Use-of-Glucose-Diluted-Trypan-Blue-in-Membrane-Peeling.flv Ivan Fiser, Ivan Kolin Advantages: It improves the adherence of trypan blue to the retina surface. It enables distinction between the posterior hyaloid, vitreoschisis, the ERM and the ILM. It makes the surgery faster and cheaper. Methods: The trypan blue, diluted with 10% glucose, makes the stain more viscous. It adheres better to the...

Murat Oncel, MD (Istanbul, Turkey) SYNOPSIS This film demonstrates the use of the transcon-junctival sutureless 25-gauge vitrectomy system combining with clear corneal phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Sheathotomy was performed either using a special knife or nitinol flexiable extandible pick with trypan blue-assisted peeling of the internal limiting membrane in branch retinal vein occlusion. Pre- and...

Banker, MD (Ahmedabad, India), Marisa Flores-Aguilar, MD (Tijuana, Mexico) SYNOPSIS The video demonstrates the efficacy of (0.2%) trypan blue dye for staining internal limiting membrane (ILM) in eyes undergoing vitrectomy for macular hole, vitreomacular traction syndrome and diabetic retinopathy. Trypan blue resulted in...

Sanchez, MD (Caracas, Venezuela) SYNOPSIS We evaluated the efficacy of trypan blue (TB) dye for the staining and removal of the internal limiting membrane (ILM), epiretinal membranes (ERM), and the mechanical detachment of the posterior hyaloid during pars plana vitrectomy. No...

Stanislao Rizzo, MD (Lucca, Italy), Michele Palla, MD (Pisa, Italy), Federica Genovesi-Ebert, MD, PhD (Pisa, Italy) SYNOPSIS In the air-filled vitreous cavity we have instilled first TB and subsequently liquid perfluorocarbon, that due to its high specific gravity pushes down the coloring agent, thus making it spread better on the retinal surface, allowing a more effective and complete ERM staining and removal. VIDEO not...
