Minimal Vitrectomy Surgery for Epiretinal Membrane
Sponsor: Peking Union Medical College Hospital
Summary
This multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluates Minimal Vitrectomy Surgery (MVS) versus conventional vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). The primary endpoints include visual acuity improvement and cataract progression after 12 months. MVS aims to minimize vitreous removal while ensuring complete membrane removal through adaptive limited vitrectomy.

Interventions
Minimal Vitrectomy Surgery
The epiretinal membrane is peeled directly through the intact vitreous. Limited localized vitrectomy is selectively performed if pre-existing floaters or membrane fragments remain after peeling.
Conventional Vitrectomy
Standard pars plana vitrectomy is performed with posterior vitreous detachment induction and core vitreous removal prior to epiretinal membrane peeling.
