Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the surgical outcomes of inverted internal limiting membrane insertion combined with air tamponade in the treatment of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in high myopia, and also to compare the treatment efficacy and safety between different surgical approaches of MHRD

Description:

This study uses a new surgical method (vitrectomy combined with inverted internal limiting membrane insertion and intraocular sterilized air tamponade) to assess its effectiveness and safety on the prognosis of macular hole retinal detachment secondary to high myopia, and also compares this new type of surgery with the current commonly used surgery (vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane peeling + silicone oil infusion).
