A New Sutureless Illuminated Macular Buckle Designed for Myopic Macular Hole Retinal Detachment.

ABSTRACT: Purpose. To report the anatomic and visual results of a new sutureless illuminated macular buckle designed for patients with macular hole retinal detachment related to high myopia (MMHRD). Design. Prospective nonrandomized comparative interventional trial. Methods. Twenty myopic eyes of 20 patients (mean age, 51.4 years; range, 35-65 years) presenting with MMHRD with a posterior staphyloma, in whom the new buckle was used, were evaluated. The buckle used was assembled from a 5?mm wide sponge and a 7?mm wide silicone tire; it was fixed utilizing the sterile topical adhesive Histoacryl Blue (B Braun, TS1050044FP) which polymerizes in seconds upon being exposed to water-containing substances. The primary outcomes measured included aided visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. The mean follow-up period was 6 months. Results. Postoperatively, the MH closure was identified by OCT in 8 (40%) eyes. The mean BCVA increased from 0.11 to 0.21 (p < 0.005). The axial length of the eyes included decreased from 30.5?mm preoperatively to 29.8?mm (p = 0.002) postoperatively. Conclusion. Preparation of the new sutureless macular buckle is simple and easy. Illumination of the terminal part of the buckle ensures proper placement. Histoacryl Blue is effective in fixing the buckle in its place for at least 6 months with no reported intra- or postoperative complications.

Project description:IntroductionHighly myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) is often associated with a poor prognosis, and there is currently no optimal treatment. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), an autologous blood product, has been shown to promote tissue regeneration. This prospective, randomized, controlled study investigated the efficacy of conventional internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling versus PRF membrane transplantation in highly myopic MHRD.MethodsEyes with highly myopic MHRD were randomly assigned to either a conventional ILM peeling group (IP group, n = 19) or a PRF membrane transplantation group (PMT group, n = 21). The study followed participants for a period of 6 months. The primary outcome measure was macular hole (MH) closure assessed using optical coherence tomography. Secondary outcomes included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), superficial vascular density (SVD), deep vascular density (DVD), rate of retinal reattachment, and any complications encountered.ResultsMH closure was achieved in a significantly greater proportion of eyes in the PMT group (21/21, 100.00%) compared to the IP group (15/19, 78.95%) (P = 0.042). Retinal reattachment was accomplished in all patients (100.00%) within both groups. Except for an insignificant difference in BCVA observed at 1 week post-surgery in the IP group, significant improvements in BCVA and CRT were documented in both groups across all other post-operative time points. Final BCVA (P = 0.040), CRT (P = 0.002), SVD (P = 0.002), and DVD (P = 0.013) were all significantly higher in the PMT group compared to the IP group. No serious complications were identified in either group.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the superiority of PRF membrane transplantation compared to conventional ILM peeling in promoting MH closure and enhancing retinal vascular density in patients with highly myopic MHRD. Additionally, PRF membrane transplantation effectively restores retinal reattachment, improves visual function, and increases retinal thickness without introducing additional complications.Trial registration numberwww.Clinicaltrialsgov , NCT06200727.
