Residual vitreous cortex at the fovea during vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair

Conclusion: Eyes with residual cortex have a higher rate of ERM than eyes with no residual cortex after vitrectomy for primary repair. It is uncertain whether removing the cortex reduces the rate of postoperative ERM. The residual cortex may have already started the pathogenesis of ERM, or surgical trauma may have played a role.
