Brief Summary

Patients with idiopathic macular holes (MHs) postoperative closure rates for large MHs (diameter \> 550 μm) are disappointing and often require a second intervention, different techniques have been described with very variable success rates in different published studies, an efficient technique with good functional outcome has not been found.
