To prospectively investigate the effect on macular hole healing after internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal during idiopathic macular hole (IMH) surgery.
Forty-one consecutive patients (forty-one eyes) with idiopathic macular hole underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with surgical removal of the epiretinal membranes overlying the hole, gas/fluid exchange and C(3)F(8) intraocular tamponade. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, group A 19 patients in non-ILM-peeling group, group B 22 patients in ILM peeling group who underwent the removal of internal limiting membrane surrounding the hole.
Among the 41 cases, IMHs were completely closed in 37 eyes (90.2%). In the ILM removal group, IMHs were closed in 22 cases (22/22, 100%). In the non-ILM removal group, IMHs were closed only in 15 eyes (15/19, 78.9%). There was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).
PPV is a valid treatment for IMH and the removal of ILM may help IMH close after surgery.
前瞻性研究特发性黄斑裂孔(IMH)手术中去除内界膜(ILM)对黄斑裂孔愈合的影响。
41例连续的特发性黄斑裂孔患者(41只眼)接受了玻璃体切割术(PPV),联合手术切除覆盖在裂孔上的视网膜前膜、气/液交换及C3F8眼内填充。患者被随机分为两组,A组19例为非ILM剥除组,B组22例为ILM剥除组,后者接受了围绕裂孔的内界膜去除术。
41例患者中,37只眼(90.2%)的IMH完全闭合。在ILM去除组中,22例(22/22,100%)的IMH闭合。在非ILM去除组中,仅15只眼(15/19,78.9%)的IMH闭合。两组间差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。
PPV是治疗IMH的有效方法,去除ILM可能有助于术后IMH闭合。
