Abstract
To review our experience with vitrectomy surgery techniques for the treatment of traumatic macular holes and the biomicroscopic and surgical findings.
Retrospective noncomparative, multicenter, case series.
Twenty-five patients with traumatic macular hole underwent surgical repair.
Vitrectomy with membrane peeling and gas injection followed by prone positioning for 7 to 14 days.
Postoperative evaluation included visual acuity testing, closure of the macular hole, and ocular complications.
The macular hole was successfully closed in 24 of 25 cases (96%). The visual acuity improved two or more lines in 21 (84%) cases, and 16 (64%) achieved 20/50 or better vision.
Vitrectomy surgery can successfully close macular holes associated with trauma and improve vision.
