Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery

Status: Completed

Conditions: Macular Holes

Treatments: Procedure: ILM flap transposition; Procedure: ILM peeling

Study type: Interventional

Identifiers

NCT03646695

ILM flap

Details and patient eligibility

About

Patients with macular hole <400µm will be randomized for ILM flap Transposition and ILM Peeling for surgical repair of macular holes

Full description

Patients with macular hole with a diameter larger than 400µm have better sucess with ILM flap transposition, but there are no data published examining the outcome of macular hole with a diameter <400µm. Therefore, patients with macular hole with a diameter <400µm will be randomized for ILM flap transposition and ILM peeling for surgical repair of macular holes

Enrollment: 20 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria
