Internal limiting membrane transplantation for unclosed and large macular holes
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2016To present the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of transplantation of autologous internal limiting membrane (ILM) for large macular holes (MHs) after failed surgeries with ILM removal.Thirteen eyes of 13 consecutive patients with MHs larger than 500 μm after failed surgeries with ILM removal underwent vitrectomy with transplantation of ...

[Macular detachment for treatment of large, persistent and chronic macular holes].
Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2021Large, persistent or chronic macular holes still represent a surgical challenge, which can be addressed using the presented surgical technique. A subretinal injection of balanced salt solution (BSS) at the posterior pole of the macular region is performed during transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy in order to induce an elevation of the neurosensory

Autologous Neurosensory Retinal Free Flap Treatment for a Large Macular Hole
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2018A patient presented with a large chronic macular hole (MH) of 700 μm. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200. Since the MHs edges were attached and stiff, an autologous neurosensory retinal flap was harvested and placed into the MH to close it. Perfluoro-n-octane heavy liquid (PFC) was instilled over the flap and exchanged with silicone oil (1 ...

[Surgery of large and persistent macular holes].
Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019Modern macular hole surgery results in high closure rates of over 90% and good functional results especially in macular holes up to 400 µm in diameter. The standard of care in most of these cases consists of transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy, peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) around the hole, followed by gas tamponade and ...

Advances in management strategies for large and persistent macular hole: An update
Survey of OphthalmologyThe standard of care to treat small- and medium-sized macular holes (400 µm diameter), chronic and persistent macular holes remain a surgical challenge since closure rates and functional results decrease with larger macular hole diameters. Various modifications of the conventional surgical technique were introduced to improve anatomic and functional ...

Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap Technique for Large Macular Holes
Ophthalmology, 2010Large macular holes usually have an increased risk of surgical failure. Up to 44% of large macular holes remain open after 1 surgery. Another 19% to 39% of macular holes are flat-open after surgery. Flat-open macular holes are associated with limited visual acuity.
