Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Overall - degree of nerve fiber layer changes at 3 months post surgery in an OCT macular cube.
For individual surgical step: presence/absence of surgical trauma, retinal hemorrhage; response of the surgeon to a standard questionnaire post surgery
Secondary outcome
Patient satisfaction based on a questionnaire. Similar evaluation on concerns by the operating room personnel. Time required for each surgical step and overall time involved in conducting surgery
Background summary
Rationale: The Preceyes Surgical System (PSS) is a high precision telemanipulated robot that assists surgeons at critical steps during vitreoretinal surgery. When needed during particular surgical steps, the surgeon can make use of the PSS, while at other time, the surgery is carried out manually. The surgical steps where PSS can be of assistance require a clinical evaluation.
Objective: Evaluated the performance of PSS assisted surgical steps as compared to manual surgery in at selected stages of macular pucker surgery.
Study design: Comparative study 2:1 randomization between robotic assistance and manual surgery.
Study population: Patients with an epiretinal membrane requiring surgery.
Intervention: Evaluated surgical steps will include: membrane staining, fluid-fluid exchange, initiation of a flap, peeling, air-fluid exchange, targeted illumination.
Main study parameters/endpoints: recording of the number of attempts/positioning, time to completion of the step and associated side effects.
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The main inconvenience will be an increase in time as compared to standard surgery for the purpose of recording and documentation. Participants may benefit from the added precision and accuracy provided by the PSS.
Study objective
Robotic assisted surgery provides high precision and accurate movements that enhance a surgeon's surgical ability. In this phase IIa study, we will demonstrate that the Preceyes Surgical System is as safe in use as human surgery, that the surgical outcomes are equivalent or better.
Study design
start and stop of each surgical step and overall for surgery.
The patients will be evaluated pre-operatively for vision, OCT, and at 3 months. If patients are able to return at a 6 month visit, the OCT contour will be also evaluated with regards to ganglion cell layer changes.
Intervention
Randomized patients 2:1 for robotic assistance vs standard surgery will undergo a vitreoretinal procedure to remove an epiretinal membrane. At various steps of the surgery, the step will be either carried out manually or with the assistance of a robotic system. The following steps will be studied: fluid staining, fluid-fluid exchange, epiretinal flap initiation, epiretinal membrane grap and peel, light pipe orientation and positioning, air-fluid gas exchange
