Introduction:To compare the morphological and visual outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and flap removal to that with flap insertion in eyes with myopic macular-hole retinal detachment (MHRD).Methods:Forty-six eyes of 45 patients with MHRD were studied. Eighteen eyes were treated by PPV with ILM peeling and flap removal and 28 eyes by flap insertion, respectively. The baseline characteristics and postoperative findings were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The average age of the cases was 70.0 ± 8.5 years. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved, from 1.51 ± 0.14 to 1.31 ± 0.20 logMARunits in the flap removal group, and from 1.20 ± 0.10 to 0.88 ± 0.10 logMARunits in the flap insertion group (p= 0.049). A significantly larger number of MHs were closed in the flap insertion group (96 vs. 50% in the removed group;p< 0.001). Restoration of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and external limiting membrane (ELM) was also better in the flap insertion group than in the flap removal group (EZ 14 vs. 6%,p= 0.003; ELM 36 vs. 6%,p< 0.001).Discussion:The technique of ILM peeling with flap insertion is more effective in closing the MH, and results in better BCVA and better restoration of the outer retinal microstructures than flap removal.
