Surgical treatment for type II macular hole retinal detachment in pathologic myopia.

Abstract

To observe the effectiveness and complications of inverted internal limiting membrane insertion through 25-G minimally invasive vitrectomy assisted with autologous blood adhesion fixation and combined with gas tamponade type-II macular hole retinal detachment in pathologic myopia.This was a retrospective study. The best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, macular hole closure, retinal reattachment, and systemic and ocular adverse events were observed.Twenty-three eyes were operated. Best-corrected visual acuity before surgery and at 3 and 6 months were 2.25 ± 0.47, 1.85 ± 0.32, and 1.32 ± 0.36 LogMAR (P < .001). On days 2 to 5, all the retinas reattached, and the macular holes closed. On days 5 to 9, 5 eyes showed increased intraocular pressure. At 2 and 4 months, 2 eyes showed retinal detachment recurrence. No serious systemic or ocular adverse events were observed.This surgical technique showed clinical benefits and no significant complications. Clinical trials are necessary to confirm efficacy and safety.
