Clinical Trial Summary

Double flapping technique to close the macular hole.


Clinical Trial Description

Recently, it is agreed to close the macular hole with the retinal innermost layer; which is called internal limiting membrane (ILM), in most cases, the hole closes. But, sometimes the ILM single flap might displace resulting in a persistent hole. Therefore, the investigators tried to make two flaps utilizing ILM, and sometimes certain patients have a very thin membrane over the retina; it is called epiretinal membrane (ERM). The investigators use the double flapping technique by utilizing ERM; therefore, the ILM remains and can be used if the hole resists closing with the first surgical interventions. Here, the investigators did not use any new materials with unknown side effects on the human retina. Although the flap technique is well known; however, investigators are making a double flap to decrease the chance of persisting macular holes. The visual recovery will be appeared in the post-operative period, whether it is the same, better, or worse. ;
