Non-inverted pedicle internal limiting membrane transposition for large macular holes.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a new surgical technique of non-inverted pedicle internal limiting membrane (ILM) transposition for the treatment of eyes with large macular hole. METHODS:This is a retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series. Twelve eyes of 12 consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy for the treatment of a large macular hole (MH size > 400 µm) were treated. ILM was peeled and left with a pedicle attached to the superior temporal retina. The macular hole was covered by transposition of the pedicle ILM in a non-inverted way. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), SD-OCT image, macular sensitivity by microperimetry, and multifocal electroretinogram (mERG) response were evaluated. All of the p
