Abstract EN
Purpose.
To describe a modified technique of internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion for macular hole- (MH-) associated retinal detachment (RD) in highly myopic eyes.
Methods.
Nine eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy, cortical vitreous removal, and fovea-sparing ILM peeling.
Double ILM insertion into the hole was performed with inverted perifoveal ILM and a free ILM flap followed by air-fluid exchange.
Results.
Two of the 9 eyes had perifoveal ILM partially torn after cortical vitreous or epiretinal removal.
All eyes had the ILM plug stabilized within the MH after double ILM insertion.
Postoperatively, MH was sealed with the retina reattached in all the eyes.
Conclusion.
Double ILM insertion may further secure the ILM flap in place in the eyes with MH-associated RD, especially in cases in which insufficient perifoveal ILM was left.
This trial is registered with the clinical registration number Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03174639.
