| Abstract |
A surgical technique is described that facilitates membrane peeling in patients with macular diseases by using small amounts of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) and brilliant blue G (BBG) dye. Retrospective cohort study. After placing about 1.0-1.5 cc PFCL on the macular area, BBG was applied with a 27-gauge blunt needle at the interface of PFCL and retina. The membrane peeling was performed under PFCL. The amount of BBG dye with PFCL-assisted staining technique has the potential to be smaller than in conventional staining method. Since the displacement angle of the membrane during peeling procedures is considerably increased by PFCL, combined with its high specific gravity and interfacial tension, the risk of tearing the membrane during manipulation is reduced to a great extent. The postoperative visual function in patients with PFCL-assisted peeling was comparable to that of patients without PFCL-assisted peeling. The PFCL-assisted technique enables sufficient membrane staining with minimal amounts of BBG dye, with tearing of the epiretinal membrane or internal limiting membrane being less likely than with the conventional method. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 July 2018.
All research outputs
#20,527,576
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology
#351
of 494 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#287,428
of 328,924 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 494 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,924 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
