Implication

Systematic review finds 93.7% success rate of Nd:YAG laser posterior membranotomy for macular preretinal hemorrhage, suggesting it is a viable treatment option.

Key Points

Nd:YAG laser posterior membranotomy effectively drains macular preretinal hemorrhage, achieving a success rate of 93.7%.
Among specific conditions, the success rate was 97.9% for Valsalva retinopathy and 90.8% for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
The analysis included 23 studies and 291 eyes, confirming the procedure's high efficacy and safety profile.
Complications were minimal and included rare occurrences of macular hole and retinal detachment.
