Summary

The aim of this study was to determine whether inverted ILM peeling technique could contribute to high reattachment and closure rates after vitrectomy in patients with myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in comparison to no ILM peeling. This retrospective study will include 40 patients presenting by myopic macular hole retinal detachment. Exclusion criteria will include history of trauma, choroidal neovascularization, and the presence of a peripheral retinal break or proliferative vitreoretinopathy before the initial surgery. Subjects will be divided into 2 groups; Group 1 will include 20 patients that were treated by vitrectomy without ILM peeling and postoperative gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without cataract surgery. Group 2 will include 20 patients that were treated by vitrectomy with ILMflap technique and postoperative gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without cataract surgery.
