ABSTRACT
Refractory macular holes typically represent macular holes larger than 400 μm, macular holes in pathological myopic eyes or complicated with myopic schisis, chronic holes longer than 6 months, persistent macular holes after surgeries, and some subtypes of secondary macular holes. A routine pars plana vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane peeling yielded a lower closure rate and unsatisfying visual rehabilitation in patients with refractory macular holes, which raised concerns among vitreoretinal surgeons. This editorial reviewed the new upcoming surgical techniques which were reportedly to improve the anatomical and visual prognosis of major subtypes of refractory macular holes. Although with a great variability, these surgical techniques are based the following surgical strategies firstly, to sufficiently unravel the epi-macular tractional force; secondly, to bridge the defect of neurosensory retina by tissue insertion or implantation and stimulate wound healing process; thirdly, proper tamponade of gas or silicone oil so that the surface tension can stabilize the inserted or implanted tissue and encourage closure of the holes. In conclusion, surgical strategies for refractory macular holes should be made after a comprehensive consideration and a customized design.
