Title: Internal limiting membrane removal in the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macular holes
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect and complications of the internal limiting membrane removal for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macular hole.Methods 15 eyes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macular hole were treated with pars plana vitrectomy,photocoagulation and cryopexy retinal tears,indocyanine green assisted peeling retinal internal limiting membrane and gas tamponade.Macular hole closing was checked by OCT.Results Average follow-up was 13 months.Retina was reattached after the first operation in 14 eyes.The successful rate was 93.33%.Macular holes were colsed in 13 eyes by OCT checked.The closing rate was 86.67%.The visual acuity was improved in all cases.The complications included temporary high intraocular pressure,cataract and so on.Conclusions The internal limiting membrane removal for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with macular hole was effective surgery.More studies was needed for evaluating the operation.
