Background: We described three cases of macular holes with an epiretinal membrane that developed after triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Case Reports: In case 1, vitrectomy was performed for vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment. In case 2 and 3, vitrectomy was performed for vitreous hemorrhage. Triamcinolone acetonide was used to visualize the vitreous during surgery and the posterior vitreous cortex was completely removed. Macular hole occurred 18, 9, and 1 months after the initial vitrectomy in cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In all cases, additional surgery was performed and closure of the macular hole was achieved.
Conclusion: Macular hole with epiretinal membrane occurred after triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy for PDR in three cases. Hole closure was achieved after additional vitreous surgery. Epiretinal membrane and macular hole might occur even in cases in which the posterior vitreous cortex has been removed completely during triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy for PDR.

To assess retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears in eyes which underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for submacular hemorrhage (SMH) secondary to age-related macular degeneration and to investigate the prognostic factors of visual outcomes. This study was a retrospective, observational case series that included 24 eyes of 24 patients who underwent PPV with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator and air for SMH. RPE tears were investigated using spectral-domain or swept-source optical coherence tomography images with raster scan, combined confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope near-infrared images and color fundus photographs.

Purpose: Human amniotic membrane (hAM) grafts have been used to close persistent macular holes in recent years. The results from these surgeries are promising with improved closure rate and vision. However, there is lack of data for what happens to these membranes and how long the tissue should remain inside the patient's eyes.

A septuagenarian man presented with a visual acuity of hand motions and a large refractory macular hole (MH). We performed an autologous retinal transplant (ART) and covered the graft with fibrin glue without any endotamponade. The autograft was found to have dislocated from the MH when the patient was reviewed 1 week later.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique during vitrectomy for treating macular hole-induced retinal detachment (MHRD) in high myopia patients, a challenging complication for vitreoretinal surgeons due to its treatment complexity.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study analyzing 92 eyes diagnosed with MHRD, all undergoing vitrectomy using the inverted ILM flap technique between February 2022 and September 2024. Successful surgery was defined as achieving retinal reattachment, macular hole closure, and improvement in visual acuity by the 12-month postoperative follow-up.
