Inverted internal limiting membrane flap vs internal limiting membrane insertion technique for large macular holes

6 February 2024 | | EYE - Vitreo-Retinal | Internal limiting membrane, internal limiting membrane insertion technique, inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique, large macular hole; meta-analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to compare and evaluate the morphological and functional outcomes between the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap and ILM insertion techniques in the treatment of large macular holes (MHs). The primary outcome measures were defined by the...

Foveal displacement after macular hole surgery

5 April 2022 | | EYE - Vitreo-Retinal | Foveal displacement, internal limiting membrane peeling, metamorphopsia, papillofoveal distance, temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap

Previous studies show that internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during macular hole surgery is associated with retinal shrinkage (microtubule depolymerization of the axons of the inner retina) and nasal shift of the fovea. A temporal inverted ILM flap technique was...
