To compare the long-term anatomic and visual outcomes of macular hole (MH)-associated retinal detachment (MHRD) treated with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, ILM insertion, or inverted ILM flap techniques.
Retrospective and comparative study.
Two hundred eighty-eight patients with MHRD who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and ILM technique were enrolled at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University.
Two hundred ninety-five eyes were divided into ILM peeling (138 eyes), ILM insertion (54 eyes), and ILM flap (103 eyes) groups and subdivided according to the extent of retinal detachment, non-high/high myopia, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade, and chorioretinal atrophy (CA) grade. The initial retinal reattachment rate, MH closure rate, postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and improvement in BCVA were evaluated.
Anatomic and visual outcomes of MHRD treated with ILM peeling, insertion, or flap techniques.
The ILM flap and insertion techniques were associated with significantly better initial MH closure rate than ILM peeling (91% vs 87% vs 54%, P < 0.001) along with a greater BCVA improvement (P < 0.001). The proportion of eyes with BCVA improvement was higher for the ILM flap technique than for ILM insertion (96% vs 83%, P < 0.005). In eyes with non-high myopia (axial length <26 mm), the ILM flap technique demonstrated better postoperative BCVA improvement than ILM peeling, but without an anatomic advantage. In eyes with PVR grade C or CA grade 4, the ILM flap technique achieved greater MH closure rates than ILM peeling, but without visual benefits. Retinal detachment extending beyond the arcade, the ILM insertion, and ILM flap techniques were significantly associated with MH closure (P = 0.011, 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Preoperative BCVA, retinal detachment beyond the arcade, CA grade, ILM insertion technique, and ILM flap technique were independently associated with the BCVA improvement (P = 0.003, 0.009, 0.006, and 0.014 and P < 0.001, respectively).
The ILM insertion and flap techniques were associated with greater MH closure rates and BCVA improvements compared with the ILM peeling technique for the treatment of MHRD. The ILM flap technique outperformed the ILM insertion technique in terms of functional recovery.

比较采用内界膜（ILM）剥除术、ILM植入术或倒置ILM瓣技术治疗黄斑裂孔（MH）相关视网膜脱离（MHRD）的长期解剖学和视觉效果。
回顾性比较研究。
复旦大学附属眼耳鼻喉科医院收治的288例行玻璃体切除术及ILM技术的MHRD患者。
295只眼被分为ILM剥除术组（138只眼）、ILM植入术组（54只眼）和ILM瓣组（103只眼），并根据视网膜脱离范围、非高度/高度近视、增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变（PVR）分级和脉络膜视网膜萎缩（CA）分级进一步细分。评估初始视网膜复位率、MH闭合率、术后最佳矫正视力（BCVA）及BCVA改善情况。
采用ILM剥除术、植入术或瓣技术治疗MHRD的解剖学和视觉效果。
ILM瓣和植入术技术的初始MH闭合率显著优于ILM剥除术（分别为91%、87%和54%，P<0.001），BCVA改善也更明显（P<0.001）。ILM瓣技术BCVA改善的眼比例高于ILM植入术（96%对83%，P<0.005）。在非高度近视（眼轴长度<26mm）眼中，ILM瓣技术术后BCVA改善优于ILM剥除术，但无解剖学优势。在PVR C级或CA 4级眼中，ILM瓣技术的MH闭合率高于ILM剥除术，但无视觉益处。视网膜脱离延伸至睫状血管弓以外，ILM植入术和ILM瓣技术与MH闭合显著相关（分别为P=0.011、0.001和P<0.001）。术前BCVA、睫状血管弓以外的视网膜脱离、CA分级、ILM植入术技术和ILM瓣技术与BCVA改善独立相关（分别为P=0.003、0.009、0.006、0.014和P<0.001）。
与ILM剥除术相比，ILM植入术和瓣技术治疗MHRD时MH闭合率更高，BCVA改善更明显。ILM瓣技术在功能恢复方面优于ILM植入术。
