Use of Cabbage Leaf Inverted Flap Technique in the Management of a Stage IV Full-Thickness Macular Hole.

ABSTRACT: Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with stage IV full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) treated by the cabbage leaf inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study, enrolling patients with stage IV FTMH operated by a single surgeon. Six patients with FTMH and no other known ocular comorbidities were included in the study. Results: Four patients (66.6%) were female, two were male. The median age was 71. The average duration of symptoms before surgery was 10.5 months (6-24 months). The mean preoperative minimum hole diameter was 480 μm (337-602), and the mean basal hole size was 1208 μm (703-1748). The mean preoperative BCVA was 0.63 LogMAR. Postoperative
