New Surgical Technique for Management of Recurrent Macular Hole.
Middle East African Journal of Ophthalmology 2017 January
Recurrence of macular hole (MH) following the standard approach of pars plana vitrectomy, posterior hyaloids removal, internal limiting membrane peeling, gas tamponade, and postoperative positioning is a common postoperative complication following MH surgery. We present a new surgical technique which involves induction of serous macular detachment around the MH, parafoveal retinal massage to bring its edges closer, gas tamponade, and face down positioning. The recurrent MHs had closed in all four consecutive patients with a parallel gain in visual acuity following this technique. All patients had Type 1 closure of the MH indicating its closure without any defect of the neurosensory retina. The MHs remained closed during the follow-up without any late reopening.
