Factors Associated with Anatomic Failure and Hole Reopening after Macular Hole Surgery

Abstract: A macular hole (MH), particularly an idiopathic macular hole (IMH), is a common cause of central vision loss. Risk factors for nonidiopathic MH include high myopia, cystoid macular edema, inflammation, and trauma. MH is primarily diagnosed using slit-lamp microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Half of the patients with stage I MHs are treated conservatively and may show spontaneous resolution. The main treatment methods for MHs currently include vitrectomy and stripping of the internal limiting mem… Show more

“…OCT has strong tissue penetration, contains stereoscopic imaging, and provides more details of the lesions, thereby supporting the quantification of the lesions directly 7 . Based on OCT images, researchers have proposed a number of predictors of MH surgical efficacy 8 . However, most of these parameters are diameters of MH or intraretinal cysts (IRC), which cannot be used to fully describe the three-dimensional structure of MH.…”

“…The dynamic assessment of the repercussions of the surgical maneuvers on retinal tissue might lead to new insights into the biomechanical response of the retina to ILM peeling and, therefore, to better guiding the surgeon. New advancements in iOCT technology are needed and could contribute to settling controversies such as the need for a customizable size of ILM peeling, the technique of choice for each case (e.g., inverted ILM flap technique and, for that matter, the subtype: temporal, cabbage leaf, or any other) and the control of factors associated with anatomic failure after FTMH surgery [ 50 , 51 ].…”

“…A macular hole (MH) refers to a full-thickness anatomical break or defect in the fovea, which results in blurred and distorted central vision. MH most commonly involves idiopathic causes; however, it has secondary causative factors, including high myopia, cystoid macular edema (CME), inflammation, and trauma [1]. Several theories regarding the pathogenesis of MH have been proposed, with some suggesting traction of the vitreous and internal limiting membrane (ILM) [2,3] as well as vitreous humor retention in the middle and outer retinal tissues due to the breakdown of the inner retinal structure in the macula (Tornambe's hydration theory) [4].…”
