Background And Objective: Effects of repeat surgery in failed primary full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) closure with the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients operated with the inverted ILM flap technique. Optical coherence tomography was performed before initial and secondary surgeries and then at up to 12 months post-surgery.
Results: During the second surgery, the inverted ILM flap created at the first attempt had returned to its original position, instead of covering the FTMH. FTMH was closed in 29 eyes after second surgery (89%) and in all eyes after third surgery. Visual acuity improved in 28 of 32 cases (87.5%). The tamponade used (either silicone oil or air) did not influence final visual results (P = .06).
Conclusions: Repeat surgery with the inverted ILM flap technique is an effective method of treatment. Silicone oil improved anatomical outcome after second surgery but did not influence visual results. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:611-618.].

Comparison of the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique without versus with an autologous blood clot for treating macular hole-associated retinal detachment.
Eye Vis (Lond)
January 2025
Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye and Ear Nose, Throat Hospital of Fudan University, 83 Fen Yang Road, Shanghai, 200031, China.
Background: To investigate the anatomical and functional outcomes of macular hole-associated retinal detachment (MHRD) after vitrectomy using the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique with autologous blood clot (ABC).
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 80 eyes with MHRD that underwent vitrectomy with ILM flap without (46 eyes) or with ABC (34 eyes). Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography were evaluated.

Division of Ophthalmology, Department of Visual Sciences, Nihon University School of Medicine, Nihon, Japan.
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.

Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of macular holes (MH) with an intact bacillary layer.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the characteristics and surgical results of 23 eyes with MH and an intact bacillary layer, with or without rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Results: Among the 23 eyes, 11 had only MH, and 12 had concurrent fovea-off RRD.
Surgeon's perceptions and preferences in the management of idiopathic macular hole.
Indian J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Vitreoretinal Services, Shroff Eye Centre, New Delhi, India.
Purpose: The management of idiopathic macular holes (iMH) has evolved over time with various modifications in surgical approach. The study aimed to survey the surgeons' preferences in the management of iMH in current times.
Design: Cross-sectional descriptive survey.
Pathogenesis, Prognosis and Surgical Outcomes of Full-Thickness Macular Holes in Macular Telangiectasia Type 2: A Literature Review.
Retina
December 2024
Ophthalmology Department, "Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS", Rome, Italy.
Purpose: Macular Telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel2) is a rare disorder affecting retina's vascular structure and MacTel2-associated full-thickness macular holes (MHs) are extremely rare in general population. Since their management is still controversial, this literature review aims to gather evidences on the surgical management of MacTel2-associated MHs.
Methods: A retrospective review on the Cochrane Central, PubMed, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.
