[Advantages of confocal microscopy in the analysis of epiretinal membranes and internal limiting membranes after macular surgery].

Purpose: To study specimens obtained from epiretinal membrane (ERM) and macular hole surgery with confocal microscopy and to evaluate its advantages in understanding their pathophysiology.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 50 patients undergoing surgery for epiretinal membrane (40 patients) or idiopathic macular hole (10 patients). Infracyanine green was used in 45 cases.
