Abstract

To date, the traditional list of methods for preoperative diagnosis of changes in the vitreous body and vitreoretinal interface includes ultrasound methods, OCT, confocal laser scanning ophthalmoscopy, and chromovitrectomy. Each of them has its own advantages, but due to limited resolution, they cannot provide the completeness of the clinical picture of intravital visualization of the vitreous body and vitreoretinal interface.

Target. To conduct a comparative analysis of the methods of intravital visualization of the vitreous body and the vitreoretinal interface.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 254 patients with pathology of the retina and vitreous using an intraoperative diagnostic method - vitreocontrastography using the substance “Vitreocontrast”. The effectiveness of this method was analyzed in comparison with other standard imaging methods according to special proven methodological principles.

Results. The diagnostic efficiency of the vitreocontrastography method is 93% of the required level of vitreous imaging efficiency, which significantly exceeds the performance of ultrasound, OCT, confocal laser scanning ophthalmoscopy, and chromovitrectomy methods.

Conclusion. Vitreocontrastography is a new vector of intraoperative visualization of the pathomorphology of the vitreous body structures and vitreoretinal interface, which provides ample opportunities for step-by-step determination of the features of the vitreous body structures and has significant advantages over other instrumental imaging methods.

Keywords: vitreocontrast, cortical layers, vitreous body, vitreoretinal interface.
