Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate surgical outcomes of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes. DESIGN: Multicenter, retrospective case study. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred ten eyes with retinal detachment resulting from macular hole (MH) were evaluated. METHODS: The medical records of consecutive patients who underwent vitrectomy between January 2010 and December 2015, inclusive, to treat MHRD in 10 hospitals of the Japan Clinical Retinal Study Team were reviewed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Retinal reattachment rate and MH closure rate after the initial surgery. RESULTS: One hundred ten eyes of 110 patients were studied. The retina was reattached in 85% of eyes and MH was closed in 52% of eyes after the initial surgery. Eyes with gas tamponade achieved higher reattachment rate than those with silicone oil tamponade. CONCLUSIONS: The gas tamponade group achieved better retinal reattachment rate than silicone oil tamponade group. Gas tamponade could be the first choice for MHRD.
