Influence of foveal glial tissue after macular hole surgery on outer retinal restoration and visual acuity.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of foveal glial tissue on the anatomical and functional results after macular hole (MH) surgery.

Methods: This study included 141 consecutive eyes that underwent successful vitrectomy for full-thickness MH between January 2015 and December 2022. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the length of outer retinal defects were evaluated preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MEDIUM-SIZED MACULAR HOLE SURGERY WITH INVERTED INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE FLAP TECHNIQUE VERSUS CONVENTIONAL PEELING.

Purpose: To investigate surgical results for medium-sized (251-400 µ m) macular holes (MHs).

Methods: This retrospective observational study involved 266 eyes of 262 consecutive patients who underwent internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling (147 eyes in the ILM peeling group) or inverted ILM flap cover technique (119 eyes in the inverted flap group) for primary medium-sized full-thickness MHs. Macular hole associated with retinal detachment, recurrent MH, and traumatic MH were excluded.
