About

Purpose: To evaluate the logical surgical approaches in closing macular holes in eyes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy with retinal detachment

Full description

High MH closure rate can be achieved. Other than high myopia, MH with RD may appear in several conditions, such as severe vitreomacular traction, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).clinical charts were reviewed of patients of proliferative diabetic retinopathy suffering from MH with RD who were treated with vitrectomy combined with inverted epiretinal ILM flap,inverted ILM flaps insertion techniques, or free ILM flaps.Standard 3-port 23 or 25 gauged pars plana vitrectomy was performed. After core vitrectomy, anterior-posterior oriented tractions as well as all fibrovascular tissues were removed as thoroughly as possible.The patients were kept in a facedown position overnight and were allowed to take any positions except supine for approximately one week.Various surgical approaches utilizing in managing macular hole may effectively closing macular holes and reattach retina.
