About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Retinal Perforations focused on measuring corneal flap transplantation, femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction, macular hole, surgical technique

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Patients with macular hole and retinal detachment caused by pathologic myopia. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with previous retinal surgery, trauma, other ocular diseases that could affect the vision, for example choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, or opaque corneas were excluded.

Sites / Locations

  • Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

corneal flap transplantation

Arm Description

Patients with macular holes underwent a 25-gauge, 3-port pars plana vitrectomy . Fluid-air exchange was performed in patients with pathologic myopia suffering from macular holes with retinal detachment. We used a flute needle to drain the subretinal fluid. A corneal flap was obtained by small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Stripping pliers were applied to spread corneal flap over the macular hole. A drop of fresh autologous whole blood was dripped over the corneal flap to immobilise it. The vitreous cavity was filled with 14% perfluoropropane (C3F8) for macular holes with retinal detachment . The surgical incision was self-closed or sutured with a 6-0 polyglactin 910 suture . The patients were instructed to maintain a prone position for 2 weeks postoperatively.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about an innovative surgical technique for macular hole repair. This technique is for patients with high myopia using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with corneal flap transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the innovative surgical technique useful for patients? Is the surgical technique safe for patients? Participants will: Undergo PPV combined with corneal flap transplantation to cover the macular hole. Maintain a prone position for 2 weeks postoperatively. Be observed by visual acuity, slit lamp, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography for 1 year after surgery.
Detailed Description
We describe an innovative surgical technique for macular hole repair using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with corneal flap transplantation. The corneal flap was sealed with autologous blood. The vitreous cavity was then filled with perfluoropropane (C3F8) or sterile air.
