Hot issues and progress in surgical treatment of macular hole in high myopia / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

High myopia macular hole (MH) is a serious complication of high myopia. The main treatment method is surgery. Because of axial growth, posterior scleral staphyloma, choroidal atrophy and other factors, the operation is difficult, the anatomic reduction rate is low, and the visual prognosis is poor. How to improve the reduction rate of surgical dissection and the recovery of visual function is a hot topic. At present, the most popular surgeries include parsplanavitrectomy (PPV) and posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR). However, there are many controversies regarding the treatment of internal limiting membrane in PPV, the selection of vitreous gapfiller, the choice of reinforcement materials and reinforcement methods of PSR, and whether it is necessary to combine PPV and PSR, etc. In recent years, many new surgical methods or techniques have emerged, which significantly increase the success rate of MH.
