Summary: Purpose: To determine the visual outcome and anatomic closure rate of macular hole surgery using pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.
Material and methods: Fifty three eyes of 52 consecutive patients with a full-thickness idiopathic macular holes (stage 3 or 4). All eyes underwent a pars plana vitrectomy including separation of the posterior hyaloid, ILM peeling with trypan blue (TB) or indocyanine green (ICG) and gas endo-tamponade with instructions to the patient, to be face down for 4-5 days. Postoperative anatomic results, visual acuity (VA), and complications were recorded. The follow-up was 3 to 22 months.
Results: VA improved postoperatively in 45 eyes (84.9%), at least two lines on the Snellen chart in 24 eyes (45.3%). It remained unchanged in 6 eyes (11.3%) and deteriorated in 2 eyes (3.8%). The mean preoperative VA was 0.1±0.04 and does not differ significantly between stage 3 and 4. The improvement of postoperative VA was statistically significantly better in stage 3, in comparison to stage 4. The anatomical success rate (flat/closed) was 88.7% (47 eyes). There were no differences in VA improvement between TB- or ICG-stained eyes.
Conclusions: 1. Vitrectomy with ILM removal in macular holes provides with meaning improvement in visual acuity. 2. Patients with macular hole in stage 3 have a better prognosis for visual rehabilitation. 3. A kind of dye and preoperative VA do not influence postoperative visual function improvement.
