Vitreoretinal Surgical Education
Learning to Peel the ILM
Anthony Correnti, MD
Retina Today. March 2009.
During his vitreoretinal fellowship, Dr. Correnti authored an educational article describing an inexpensive teaching model designed to simulate internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.
ILM peeling is a delicate microsurgical technique used during vitrectomy for certain macular conditions, including macular holes and epiretinal membranes.
The educational model was designed to give surgeons in training an opportunity to develop microsurgical technique in a simulated environment.
