Vitrectomy for retinal detachment associated with macular hole: Prognostic factor analysis under different axial length conditions. Acta Ophthalmol 2023. [PMID: 37818952 DOI: 10.1111/aos.15791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify prognostic factors for complete anatomical success (CAS) under different axial length (AL) conditions after vitrectomy plus internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for retinal detachment associated with macular hole (MHRD). METHODS This retrospective study included 243 patients (251 eyes) with MHRD who underwent primary vitrectomy plus ILM peeling. Multivariate logistic regression explored prognostic factors for CAS in AL <30 mm and ≥ 30 mm groups. RESULTS Overall, 113 eyes (45.0% of 251) exhibited complete CAS after initial surgery. Eyes with CAS had greater best-corrected visual acuity improvement than eyes without CAS (p < 0.001). CAS was more common in eyes with AL < 30 mm (50.3% of 155) than in eyes with AL ≥ 30 mm (36.5%, 35/96; p = 0.032). In the AL < 30 mm group, CAS was associated with ILM insertion (odds ratio [OR], 2.824, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.189-6.710; p = 0.019), silicone oil (SO)/perfluoropropane (C3F8) tamponade (SO: OR, 0.408, 95% CI, 0.191-0.873; C3F8: OR, 2.448, 95% CI, 1.145-5.234; p = 0.021) and staphyloma (OR, 0.318, 95% CI, 0.143-0.707; p = 0.005). In the AL ≥30 mm group, CAS was associated with ILM insertion (OR, 11.621, 95% CI, 2.557-52.813; p = 0.001), SO /C3F8 tamponade (SO: OR, 5.305, 95% CI, 1.206-23.334; C3F8: OR, 0.188, 95% CI, 0.043-0.829; p = 0.027) and age (OR, 0.928, 95% CI, 0.876-0.983; p = 0.011). CONCLUSION Vitrectomy plus ILM peeling can effectively treat MHRD but has limited efficacy in eyes with AL ≥ 30 mm. ILM insertion was associated with more frequent CAS at any AL. C3F8 tamponade yielded better outcomes with AL < 30 mm; SO tamponade yielded better outcomes with AL ≥ 30 mm.

Yu X, Wu L, Mao Z, Fan H, Dong W, You Z. Internal limiting membrane peeling combined with mouse nerve growth factor injection for idiopathic macular hole. BMC Ophthalmol 2023; 23:339. [PMID: 37525098 PMCID: PMC10391844 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-023-03066-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was intended to confirm whether Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) with Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) peeling and intravitreal injection mouse Nerve Growth Factor(mNGF) was effective for the treatment of Idiopathic Macular Hole(IMH) by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography(OCTA) and microperimetry. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in adults' patients. A total of 44 eyes (March 2021-October 2021) with IMH who received surgical treatment in the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Nanchang University in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province were selected. The subjects were treated using PPV combined with ILM peeling and intravitreal mNGF (combined group) or PPV combined with ILM peeling (placebo group). The Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and MP-3 microperimetry were carried out and observed at baseline, 1 week(1W), 1,3 and 6 months (1 M,3 M,6 M) postoperatively. RESULTS The minimum diameter of MH were (568.650 ± 215.862)μm and (533.348 ± 228.836)μm in the Placebo and Combine group pre-operative. During the observation, the macular hole closure rate in the placebo group and combined group were 90% and 95.8% respectively and the difference was not statistically significant(p = 0.583). Compared to pre-surgery, the perimeter and circularity of Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) in the placebo group decreased at 1,3,6 M (p = 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001) and 1W,1,6 M (p = 0.045,0.010, < 0.001) post-surgery respectively. And the perimeter and circularity of FAZ showed significant reduction in the combined group at 1,3,6 M (p = 0.005,0.004, < 0.001) and at each follow-up time point (all values of p < 0.001). The vascular density of SCP increased at 1W(p = 0.031) and 6 M(p = 0.007), the perfusion density of SCP was significantly improved at each follow-up time point (p = 0.028, 0.011, 0.046, 0.004) in the combined group. The BCVA in the combined group was more obvious than that in the placebo group at 1 M, 3 M and 6 M after operation (t1 = 2.248, p1 = 0.030; t3 = 3.546, p3 = 0.001; t6 = 3.054, p6 = 0.004). The changes of BCVA in the combined group was more conspicuous than that in the placebo group at each follow-up time point, and the difference was statistically significant (t1 = 2.206,p1 = 0.033;t2 = 2.54,p2 = 0.015;t3 = 3.546,p3 = 0.001;t6 = 3.124,p6 = 0.003).At 1 M, 3 M and 6 M, the MRS of 2° and 4° in the combined group was better than that in the placebo group(t = -2.429,-2.650,-3.510,-2.134,-2.820,-3.099 p = 0.020,0.011,0.001,0.039,0.007,0.004). During various time points, the MRS of 12°in the combined group was better than that in the placebo group, the difference was statistically significant (t = -3.151, -3.912, -4.521, -4.948, p1 = 0.003, < 0.001, < 0.001 < 0.001). The integrity of External Limiting Membrane (ELM) in combination group was better than that in placebo group at 6 M postoperative(p = 0.022) and that of Ellipsoid Zone(EZ) was preferable in the combined group at 3 M and 6 M after surgery(p = 0.012,0.004). Correlation analysis showed that the integrity of EZ was correlated with 12°MRS at 1 M, 3 M and 6 M after surgery(r = -0.318, -0.343,-0.322;p = 0.023,0.033, < 0.001). There was no correlation between postoperative ELM integrity and postoperative BCVA and 12°MRS(p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results manifested that PPV combined with ILM peeling and intravitreal injection mNGF might be more effective for initial IMH. This method increased the blood flow, MRS and promoted the recovery of ELM and EZ in the macular and might improve the visual function of patients postoperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the clinical features and treatment outcomes of patients with macular hole coexistent with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgically treated with pars plana vitrectomy and inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique. METHODS Eleven consecutive patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and macular hole who underwent vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling with the inverted flap technique between December 2017 and February 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. The main outcome measures were retinal reattachment rate, macular hole closure rate, and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity. A nonsystematic literature review was performed to compare the study outcomes with those previously reported. RESULTS The primary retinal reattachment rate was 90% (10/11) with one surgery and 100% with 2 surgical procedures. Macular hole closure was achieved in all patients (11/11). All patients showed an improvement in visual acuity at the final postoperative visit, and the mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.60 ± 0.32 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (20/80 Snellen equivalent). CONCLUSION Vitrectomy with the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique achieved not only favorable anatomical retinal reattachment rates but also an encouraging recovery of central macular anatomy and visual function in patients with macular hole coexistent with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:780475. [PMID: 35252235 PMCID: PMC8889034 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.780475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in high myopia after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with face-down positioning and adjustable positioning. Methods Fifty-three eyes from 53 patients with MHRD were analyzed in this study. All patients received PPV with silicon oil for tamponade and then subdivided into 2 groups: 28 were included in a face-down positioning group and 25 were included in the adjustable positioning group. Patients were followed up for at least 6 months. The main outcome was the rate of anatomical macular hole (MH) closure and retinal reattachment. Secondary outcome measures were the best-corrected visual acuity and postoperative complications. Results There was no significant difference in the rate of MH closure (53.6 vs. 72.0%, p = 0.167) and retinal reattachment (100 vs. 96%, p = 0.472) between the face-down group and adjustable group. Compared with the mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the mean postoperative BCVA at the 6-month follow-up improved significantly in both groups (p = 0, both). But there was no significant difference in the mean postoperative BCVA (p = 0.102) and mean BCVA improvement (p = 0.554) at 6 months after surgery between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the high intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery between the two groups (53.6 vs. 44%, p = 0.487). There were no other complications that occurred during the follow-up. Conclusion Adjustable positioning after PPV with silicon oil tamponade for MHRD repair is effective and safe. Face-down positioning does not seem to be necessary for all patients with MHRD.

Abstract
A macular hole (MH), particularly an idiopathic macular hole (IMH), is a common cause of central vision loss. Risk factors for nonidiopathic MH include high myopia, cystoid macular edema, inflammation, and trauma. MH is primarily diagnosed using slit-lamp microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Half of the patients with stage I MHs are treated conservatively and may show spontaneous resolution. The main treatment methods for MHs currently include vitrectomy and stripping of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). However, in some patients, surgery does not lead to anatomical closure. In this review, we summarize the factors influencing the anatomical closure of MHs and analyze the potential underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of poor visual prognosis complicated by residual subretinal fluid after use of the internal limiting membrane flap technique to treat macular hole retinal detachment in a patient with high myopia.Case summary: A 55-year-old male stated that he had experienced a transparent circle in the central visual field of the right eye for 1 month. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.32 and the axial length of the right eye was 32.57 mm. Fundus examination revealed a macular hole with retinal detachment localized to the posterior pole. We performed vitrectomy, membrane peeling, internal limiting membrane peeling with inverted internal limiting membrane flap, and silicone oil injection. On day 1 after surgery, the macular hole was closed, but subretinal fluid was noticed in the macula. At 3 months after surgery, the BCVA was 0.16 and the silicone oil was removed. At 14 months after the first surgery, the subretinal fluid was completely absorbed, but leopard-pattern pigment degeneration became prominent and the macula exhibited ellipsoid zone disruption. The BCVA decreased to 0.1.Conclusions: In patients exhibiting macular hole retinal detachment in the context of high myopia, an inverted internal limiting membrane flap may increase the macular hole closure rate but disturb subretinal fluid drainage. As persistent subretinal fluid may cause permanent retinal damage with a poor visual prognosis, the surgical method must be carefully chosen.

Abstract
Introduction The choice of surgical treatment for chronic, persistent and large full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) continues to be undefined and challenging, as some of these cases remain refractory to the treatment. We report the efficacy of combination of inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique (IILMFT) and subretinal application of the fluid (SR fluid application) technique for treatment of refractory FTMHs. Methods Nine patients (nine eyes) were enrolled into this retrospective non-randomized exploratory consecutive case series study. All patients were diagnosed with chronic, persistent or large FTMH and were treated with a combination of IILMFT and SR fluid application technique. The following outcome parameters were analysed during 1- and 6-month follow-up visits: anatomical FTMH closure rate on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), degree of postoperative retinal displacement. Results The mean preoperative diameter of FTMH was 542.0 μm (range 154–1930 μm). Final closure of FTMH was achieved in nine of nine cases (100%). In one case a second operation was required because of postoperative rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The mean BCVA after the FTMH closure increased from 1.0 logMAR (0.7–1.3) to 0.4 logMAR (0.2–0.8 logMAR) (W = 2.67; p = 0.008). A positive correlation was revealed between preoperative BCVA and axial length (ρ = 0.67, p = 0.048), between preoperative BCVA and duration of the symptoms (ρ = 0.818, p = 0.007), as well as between postoperative BCVA at 1-month follow-up and BCVA at 6-month follow-up (ρ = 0.821, p = 0.007). Conclusion Combination of IILMFT with SR fluid application technique for refractory FTMH surgery appears to be effective and safe. Improvement of anatomical and visual outcomes after the single surgery benefits from and is ensured by the advantages of both novel surgical approaches.

Abstract
Pathologic myopia is a major cause of visual impairment worldwide. Pathologic myopia is distinctly different from high myopia. High myopia is a high degree of myopic refractive error, whereas pathologic myopia is defined by a presence of typical complications in the fundus (posterior staphyloma or myopic maculopathy equal to or more serious than diffuse choroidal atrophy). Pathologic myopia often occurs in eyes with high myopia, however its complications especially posterior staphyloma can also occur in eyes without high myopia. Owing to a recent advance in ocular imaging, an objective and accurate diagnosis of pathologic myopia has become possible. Especially, optical coherence tomography has revealed novel lesions like dome-shaped macula and myopic traction maculopathy. Wide-field optical coherence tomography has succeeded in visualizing the entire extent of large staphylomas. The effectiveness of new therapies for complications have been shown, such as anti-VEGF therapies for myopic macular neovascularization and vitreoretinal surgery for myopic traction maculopathy. Myopia, especially childhood myopia, has been increasing rapidly in the world. In parallel with an increase in myopia, the prevalence of high myopia has also been increasing. However, it remains unclear whether or not pathologic myopia will increase in parallel with an increase of myopia itself. In addition, it has remained unclear whether genes responsible for pathologic myopia are the same as those for myopia in general, or whether pathologic myopia is genetically different from other myopia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To compare complete internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with the inverted flap technique for macular hole (MH) surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS An electronic database search on PubMed, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov was performed. Inclusion criteria were comparative prospective/retrospective studies including patients with MH of any size with at least 6 months of follow-up. The primary outcome was MH closure rate. Secondary outcomes were best-corrected visual acuity improvement and surgery-related adverse events. RESULTS Sixteen papers enrolling 1,403 eyes were included (733 ILM peeling, 670 inverted flap). MH mean minimum diameter and time of symptomatic evolution were higher in the inverted flap group (531.1 μm ± 188.8 μm vs. 602.8 μm ± 223.8 μm; 10.4 ± 20.2 months vs. 12.0 ± 18.4 months; P < .01). Overall, MH closure rate was superior with the inverted flap technique (risk-ratio [RR]: 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-1.38; P < .0001), as well as in all subgroups: idiopathic large MH (n = 362; RR: 1.12; 95% CI, 1.05-1.20; P < .001), myopic MH without retinal detachment (n = 133; RR: 1.35; 95% CI, 1.14-1.59; P < .001), and MH retinal detachment (n = 198; RR: 1.89; 95% CI, 1.31-2.73; P < .001). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests the inverted flap technique is more effective in achieving MH closure. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020;51:187-195.].

Abstract
A macular hole (MH) may be a significant complication in patients with high myopia. The recently reported inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique is a promising alternative to treat myopic MHs. We performed a meta-analysis of the published anatomical and functional results of the "inverted ILM flap" technique for the treatment of myopic MH with or without retinal detachment (RD). Our results showed that the inverted ILM flap technique, either covering or insertion, is an effective method for treating myopic MH with or without RD and provides high MH closure, ranging from 91.8% to 97.1%. Despite the high MH closure rate, the pooled visual acuity improvement rate was 77.3% and 66.2% in patients with myopic MH without RD, while it was 95% and 80.3% in patients with myopic MHRD, using "covering" and "insertion" ILM flap technique, respectively. Potential complications included reopening or persistence of MH, development of RD, choroidal detachment, ocular hypertension, and chorioretinal atrophy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of macular hole (MH)-associated retinal detachment after vitrectomy with the internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion technique or the inverted ILM flap technique. METHODS In this retrospective observational study, we reviewed the medical records of 49 eyes with MH-associated retinal detachment that underwent vitrectomy with the ILM insertion (26 eyes) or ILM flap (23 eyes) technique. RESULTS The MH closure rate at 12 months was greater in the ILM flap group versus the ILM insertion group (95% vs. 73%, respectively, P = 0.059). The postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 12 months was significantly better in the ILM flap group (P = 0.014). All eyes (100%) showed an improvement in the BCVA of ≥0.3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (15 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters) in the ILM flap group versus 20 eyes (77%) in the ILM insertion group (P = 0.026). The preoperative BCVA and the ILM flap technique were significantly correlated with the postoperative BCVA (P = 0.028 and 0.027, respectively) and BCVA improvement (≥0.3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [15 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters]; P = 0.003 and 0.026, respectively). CONCLUSION The inverted ILM flap technique was more effective in improving the postoperative BCVA in patients with MH-associated retinal detachment when compared with the ILM insertion technique. The preoperative BCVA and the ILM flap technique were independent prognostic factors for visual outcomes in patients with MH-associated retinal detachment.

[PMID: 32908680 PMCID: PMC7463360 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2374650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare morphological and functional outcomes between vitrectomy with the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique and vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling in highly myopic eyes with macular hole- (MH-) induced retinal detachment (MHRD). METHODS The PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched from inception to November 10, 2019, for published studies comparing the two techniques for the treatment of MHRD. The outcomes in the collected articles included the postoperative MH closure rate, retinal reattachment rate, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Review Manager (version 5.3) was used for analyses. RESULTS In total, seven retrospective studies comparing the inverted ILM flap technique with ILM peeling for the treatment of MHRD were included. The MH closure rate was significantly higher in the inverted ILM flap group than in the ILM peeling group at 6 and 12 months after initial surgery (OR = 15.39; 95% CI: 6.68 to 35.43;P < 0.00001 and OR = 12.58, 95% CI: 3.51 to 45.08; P=0.0001), while the retinal reattachment rate was similar in both groups at 6 months after initial surgery (OR = 2.40; 95% CI: 0.89 to 6.50; P=0.08). Besides, the postoperative BCVA was significantly better in the inverted ILM flap group than in the ILM peeling group at 12 months after initial surgery (MD = -0.35; 95% CI: -0.52 to -0.18; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Thus, the MH closure rate and postoperative BCVA may be better with the inverted ILM flap technique than with ILM peeling for myopic MHRD, while the postoperative retinal reattachment rate appears to be similar with both techniques. Therefore, in the future, vitrectomy with the inverted ILM flap technique should be preferred over standard ILM peeling technique for the treatment of MHRD in highly myopic eyes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare the morphological and visual outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and flap removal to that with flap insertion in eyes with myopic macular-hole retinal detachment (MHRD). METHODS Forty-six eyes of 45 patients with MHRD were studied. Eighteen eyes were treated by PPV with ILM peeling and flap removal and 28 eyes by flap insertion, respectively. The baseline characteristics and postoperative findings were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The average age of the cases was 70.0 ± 8.5 years. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved, from 1.51 ± 0.14 to 1.31 ± 0.20 logMAR units in the flap removal group, and from 1.20 ± 0.10 to 0.88 ± 0.10 logMAR units in the flap insertion group (p = 0.049). A significantly larger number of MHs were closed in the flap insertion group (96 vs. 50% in the removed group; p < 0.001). Restoration of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM) was also better in the flap insertion group than in the flap removal group (EZ 14 vs. 6%, p = 0.003; ELM 36 vs. 6%, p < 0.001). DISCUSSION The technique of ILM peeling with flap insertion is more effective in closing the MH, and results in better BCVA and better restoration of the outer retinal microstructures than flap removal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and visual function prognosis of macular hole retinal detachment treatment for high myopia by inverting the internal limiting membrane to overlay the macular hole with the assistance of perfluorocarbon liquids. METHODS A total of 55 high myopia patients, who received macular hole retinal detachment treatment from 2013 to 2016, were included in this study. Among these patients, 38 patients were assigned to the first group and 17 patients (perfluorocarbon liquids) were assigned to the second group. The second group was further divided into two subgroups, according to the overlaying layer number of the internal limiting membrane valve: A group (multiple layers) and B group (single layer). RESULTS The success rate of the internal limiting membrane inversion and overlaying on the macular hole was 23.68% and 100% in the first and second group, respectively. The differences in macular hole closing rate and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity between these two groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the differences in macular morphology recovery between the A and B groups were also statistically significant (p = 0.004 < 0.05). CONCLUSION Perfluorocarbon liquids play a positive role in the operation process of the internal limiting membrane.

Abstract
AIM To compare the anatomic and functional outcomes between vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and internal ILM flap insertion technique for high myopia macular hole (MH). METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CNKI were systematically searched, and all studies involved MH were included. The closure rate of MH and the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 6mo after the initial surgery were the primary measures. All statistical tests were performed in Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS Five studies that included 151 eyes of 151 patients were finally included, all of which were retrospectively comparative studies. Between the pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with ILM peeling surgery and the ILM insertion technique, the latter had significantly better efficacy with respect to the closure rate of MH (OR=21.32, 95%CI=7.25-62.67, P<0.001); However, regarding BCVA at 6mo after the initial surgery in MH, there was no statistical significance between the groups (OR=-0.04, 95%CI=-0.22-0.14, P=0.66). In addition, regarding the rate of retinal reattachment after the initial surgery, the two different methods were not significantly different (OR=2.22, 95%CI=0.34-14.32, P=0.4). CONCLUSION Both ILM peeling and ILM insertion technique could significantly improve anatomic outcomes of MH in high myopia with or without retinal detachment (RD), and anatomic outcomes are more effective. However, there is no statistical significance in BCVA at 6mo after the initial surgery in MH, or in the rate of retinal reattachment after the first surgery, between the two methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy of dynamic intraoperative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (iSD-OCT) imaging for inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique (IILMFT) in large macular hole (MH) surgery. SUBJECTS/METHODS Prospective, non-randomized, observational study was conducted on 8 eyes of 7 patients with large, chronic and recurrent MHs, which were treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with IILMFT. All patients underwent standard pre- and postoperative examination. The iSD-OCT imaging was performed using microscope integrated systems before, during, and after ILM peeling. The iSD-OCT data were post-processed using graphic software and reviewed for tissue behavior and instruments position. RESULTS The real-time iSD-OCT-assisted IILMFT allowed for real-time imaging of the entire surgery with visualization of the MH, vitreoretinal instruments, and all steps of inverted ILM flap formation. In spite of shadowing created by the steel instruments, it was possible to follow and control the distance between the instrument tips and retinal layers. Dynamic imaging of the surgical maneuvers including ILM peeling and mechanical apposition of MH edges revealed the iatrogenic impact on the retina (depression and appearance of hyporeflective zones). iSD-OCT imaging could confirm the proper position of the inverted ILM flap at the very end of the surgery after fluid-air exchange. CONCLUSIONS iSD-OCT imaging is an effective tool for learning and performing a well-controlled and safe inverted ILM flap technique in patients with large MH. Clinical significance of the structural iSD-OCT findings has to be further studied.

Abstract
Macular hole (MH) in myopic eyes is a disease arising from complex tractional forces exerted by vitreomacular interface, epiretinal tissue, and progressive scleral ectasia of the posterior ocular globe wall. This retinal disease requires vitreoretinal treatment for its repair, and the surgical intervention remains a challenge also for experienced surgeons. The aim of this review is to describe the current knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of MH in myopic eyes and to detail novel surgical techniques and technological advancements in its surgical management.

Abstract
PurposeThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique on the macular hole (MH) closure and foveal microstructure recovery of patients with highly myopic MH.MethodsPars plana vitrectomy and gas tamponade with the inverted ILM flap technique (19 eyes) or with the ILM peeling technique (21 eyes) were performed in patients with highly myopic MH with or without retinal detachment. The rate of MH closure and retinal reattachment, the reconstructive anatomical change of the foveal microstructure and the best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA) of the two groups were compared.ResultsThe anatomic closure rate was statistically significantly higher in the inverted group (100%) than in the peeling group (66.7%; p=0.009). All eyes with MH retinal detachment had successful retinal reattachment in these two groups. However, the rate of the external limiting membrane (ELM) and ellipsoid zone (EZ) (p=0.020), as well as gliosis (p=0.049) in macular area, detected by OCT, was significantly greater in the inverted group than in the peeling group. The postoperative BCVA was significantly better in the eyes with ELM, EZ (p=0.031) and gliosis (p=0.008), but without hyperreflective foci (p=0.001).ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate that the inverted ILM flap technique has better efficacy than the ILM peeling technique for patients with myopic MH in closure rate, foveal microstructure and postoperative BCVA.
