ResultsOne surgeon performed this technique in 12 consecutive patients. All cases are summarized in Table 1. No intraoperative or postoperative complications related to the inverted flap technique were noted. Of the 12 eyes, 10 (83%) showed initial macular hole closure after primary surgery using a single-layered inverted ILM flap technique. One case (Case 6; Figure 4, A and B) showed an open macular hole, which had an elevated margin covered by the single-layered ILM flap in the postoperative optical coherence tomography. The ILM had not been removed in this case. After this case, the technique was modified to remove the ILM in the macula to 3 to 4 disk diameter size except the ILM flap. The other case showed migration of the ILM flap in optical coherence tomography (Case 9; Figure 4, C and D). Migration was not noted in patients who kept a postoperative facedown position for 1 day. In both cases mentioned above, the macular hole was closed after second operation in which the ILM was removed to 4 disk diameter size and 14% C3F8 gas was used as a tamponade. The mean visual acuity improved significantly from logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (log-MAR) 0.9±0.21 at baseline to 0.48±0.19 at 6 months (P= 0.004). Visual acuity of 20/40 or better was achieved in 3 eyes (25%). Representative cases (Cases 1 and 8; Figure 4, E–H) had a normal foveal configuration after surgical closure. The ILM flap was noted over the foveal depression in 5 cases (42%). Restoration of the inner and outer segment junction signal was noted in 5 eyes at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively (Figure 4H). Residual PFO was not found in any case.
