Postoperative Full-Thickness Macular Hole Formation after Vitrectomy for the Removal of Epiretinal Membrane.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the incidence, clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of full-thickness macular hole (MH) formation after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for the removal of epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed the medical charts of the 309 eyes of 306 patients with PPV for ERM removal from 2012 to 2024 using clinical data warehouse search. Patients were categorized into two groups: one group with development of MH and the other without MH development after ERM surgery. Baseline demographics and clinical parameters were compared between the two groups. Risk factors for MH formation were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Surgical outcomes of the cases with MH formation were also analyzed.
