Comparative assessment of anatomical and functional results when using PRP technology in surgery of macular holes of different diameters

Abstract

Purpose. Compare the anatomical and functional results of using PRP technology in the surgery of macular holes of various diameters. Materials and methods. We observed 15 patients (15 eyes). After the vitrectomy, the internal border membrane was peeled. Platelet-rich autoplasm was injected intravitreally. The observation period was 1 month. Results. As a result of surgical treatment, we managed to close the opening in all cases, restore the anatomy of the fovea, and improve visual acuity in all patients. Conclusions. According to the assessment of the results obtained in the ongoing study, the use of this technology is an effective and promising method of treatment based on the stimulation of the tissues' own regenerative potential.
