OBJECTIVE In this article, a submacular autologous neurosensory retinal transplantation technique is presented in patients with large macular hole (MH) accompanying retinal detachment. METHODS In the surgical procedure, 23-G pars plana vitrectomy and peripheral vitrectomy were performed. An autologous neurosensory retinal patch, which should be larger than the diameter of the MH, was released from a suitable quadrant. The retinal patch was grasped using a 23 gauge microforceps and then passed through the MH and placed under the macula. Liquid perfluorocarbon (PFCL) was injected, and the retina was reattached. A subfoveal autologous neurosensory retinal patch was repositioned in the center of the MH with gentle manipulation under fluid perfluorocarbon, if necessary. Laser retinopexy was applied to peripheral tears under PFCL Subsequently, a 5,000-cSt silicone oil-PFCL exchange was also performed. RESULTS Four eyes of four patients were operated on using the technique described earlier. Silicone oil was removed from two patients, and the macular holes were closed in all patients at the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This technique has been beneficial in refractory MHs and can improve the visual potential in eyes with MHs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D005466 Fluorocarbons Liquid perfluorinated carbon compounds which may or may not contain a hetero atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, but do not contain another halogen or hydrogen atom. This concept includes fluorocarbon emulsions, and fluorocarbon blood substitutes. Perfluorinated and related polyfluorinated chemicals are referred to as PFAS and are defined as chemicals with at least two adjacent carbon atoms, where one carbon is fully fluorinated and the other is at least partially fluorinated.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D012827 Silicone Oils Organic siloxanes which are polymerized to the oily stage. The oils have low surface tension and density less than 1. They are used in industrial applications and in the treatment of retinal detachment, complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Silicone Oil,Oil, Silicone
D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
D014821 Vitrectomy Removal of the whole or part of the vitreous body in treating endophthalmitis, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, intraocular foreign bodies, and some types of glaucoma. Vitrectomies
D058450 Endotamponade A method of stopping internal bleeding or blood flow, or the closure of a wound or body cavity, achieved by applying pressure or introducing an absorbent liquid, gel, or tampon. Endotamponades
