Preservation of the internal limiting membrane during surgical treatment of retinal detachment complicated by macular hole

Rationale: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, complicated by macular hole, is a severe, widespread disease that leads to an irreversible decrease in visual function. When discussing the modern approach to macular surgery, much attention is paid to the volume of membrane peeling and mechanical damage to retinal tissue in the foveal zone. Even when this manipulation is performed by an experienced surgeon, the end plates of Muller cells inevitably tear off and the layer of nerve fibers becomes rarefied.
