Abstract
Purpose
To report the result of retreatment using additional internal limiting membrane removal and intraocular gas tamponade for persistent macular holes after primary surgery. Methods: Three cases of macular hole (stage 1, stage 2, stage 3) were not closed despite primary macular hole surgery using internal limiting membrane removal and intraocular gas tamponade. Retreatment for the persistent macular hole consisted of additional broad internal limiting membrane removal reaching to the major retinal vascular arcade and intraocular gas tamponade. Results: All three cases showed macular hole closure and visual improvement after retreatment. Conclusions: We report the successful results of retreatment using additional broad internal limiting membrane removal and intraocular gas tamponade for persistent macular holes after primary surgery.
