Surgical treatment of traumatic macular retinal rupture using a fragment of the inner limiting membrane

Objective: to evaluate the possibility of using the technology of step-by-step formation of the foveal intact fragment and the superior inverted fragment of the internal limiting membrane in surgery for traumatic macular hole of the retina. Material and methods. 7 patients (7 eyes) with traumatic macular hole as a result of severe contusion of the eyeball, including 5 with complicated traumatic macular hole, 2 with uncomplicated. Preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ranged from 0.03 to 0.12, minimal macular hole diameter ranged from 230 to 512 µm. All patients were operated on using a modification of the surgical technique. The observation period is up to 1 year.
