Surgical Treatment of Idiopathic Macular Hole Using Different Types of Tamponades and Different Postoperative Positioning Regimens

Abstract

PPV with ILM peeling, intraocular tamponade, and positioning remains the basic surgical approach in the treatment of IMH. For MH ≤ 400 <i>µ</i>m, a high closure rate can be achieved by combining air tamponade and nonsupine reading position. For macular holes >400 <i>µ</i>m, the greatest anatomical success can be achieved by using the SF6 tamponade in combination with the nonsupine reading position.
