Abstract EN
The inner limiting membrane (ILM) is the basement membrane of the Müller cells and can act as a scaffold for cellular proliferation in the pathophysiology of disorders affecting the vitreomacular interface.
The atraumatic removal of the macular ILM has been proposed for treating various forms of tractional maculopathy in particular for macular pucker.
In the last decade, the removal of ILM has become a routine practice in the surgery of the epiretinal membranes (ERMs), with good anatomical results.
However many recent studies showed that ILM peeling is a procedure that can cause immediate traumatic effects and progressive modification on the underlying inner retinal layers.
Moreover, it is unclear whether ILM peeling is helpful to improve vision after surgery for ERM.
In this review, we describe the current understanding about ILM peeling and highlight the beneficial and adverse effects associated with this surgical procedure.
