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
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.

corneal flap transplantation
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.
