Internal limiting membrane flap technique in macular hole surgery [PDF]
Vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is popular for the treatment of macular hole (MH). However, the improvements of MH closure rate and postoperative visual acuity are not satisfactory especially in large and refractory MHs.

A useful technique of starting internal limiting membrane peeling from the edge of the internal limiting membrane defect in epiretinal membrane surgery [PDF]
Key Clinical Message Clinicians should be aware that internal limiting membrane (ILM) defects may occur concurrently with epiretinal membrane, and starting ILM peeling at the ILM defect margin may be useful in such cases.
