Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap Technique: Is It the Best Option for Macular Holes?

Surgical treatment is generally necessary to repair full-thickness macular holes (FTMH). Although vitrectomy with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling remains the standard surgical technique, the inverted ILM flap procedure has increasingly assumed a role in the primary surgical repair of FTMHs. Some vitreoretinal surgeons reserve this technique to treat large or myopic holes, whereas others use it routinely in all cases.

Spontaneous Closure of Full-Thickness Macular Holes.

Purpose: To describe retinal morphology and vision recovery after spontaneous closure of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective, observational study. From a database containing 750 FTMH, we included 23 cases.
