Minimal Vitrectomy and ILM Flap with Sodium Hyaluronate Gel for MH

Официальное название

Clinical Study of Minimal Posterior Pole Vitrectomy and Fixing the Inverted Inner Limiting Membrane Flap with Sodium Hyaluronate Gel for Macular Hole

Обзор

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the prognostic validity of two different surgical approaches: minimal posterior pole vitrectomy combined with a sodium hyaluronate gel-covered internal limiting membrane(ILM) flap with balanced saline filling and postoperative supine position, versus conventional vitrectomy combined with ILM flap flap coverage with sterile air filling and postoperative prone position. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether patients with macular hole have the same or even better prognosis with minimal posterior pole vitrectomy combined with sodium hyaluronate gel covered flip ILM flap accompanied by balanced salt solution filling accompanied by postoperative supine position than with conventional macular hole surgery. Participants will: The control group undergoes conventional vitrectomy combined with internal limbal flap coverage accompanied by sterile air filling of the vitreous cavity and three days of postoperative surgery in strict supine position. The study group undergoes minimal posterior pole vitrectomy combined with sodium hyaluronate gel-assisted flap of the inner border membrane accompanied by 24 hours of postoperative surgical treatment in a non-strict supine position. Participants of this study come to Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital for follow-up examinations at 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively in the 23rd clinic of the Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital for review of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus photography, optical coherence tomography angiography, microfluidic field of view (at 6 months postoperatively), and slit-lamp examination.

Подробное описание

Macular hole is a tissue defect that occurs from the inner limiting membrane of the retina to the photoreceptor layer in the macula, severely compromising the patient's central vision. Currently, the standard of care for macular holes is complete vitrectomy combined with stripping, plugging, or flipping of the inner limiting membrane to cover the macular hole, followed by tamponade with prolonged gas or filtered air. After surgery, patients are usually required to remain in a supine position for days to weeks, which is extremely stressful. Despite the effectiveness of current methods, there is still room for thought and improvement.

Given the potential drawbacks of the current mainstream surgery, one investigator developed a minimal posterior pole vitrectomy combined with a sodium hyaluronate gel-assisted flip inner border flap technique for macular hole repair that eliminates the need for prolonged gas or filtered air tamponade and the need for patients to remain in the face-down position for long periods postoperatively. Primary healing was achieved in all postoperative macular holes. However, existing studies have small sample sizes and irregular follow-up times.

In this project, the researchers plan to investigate the prognostic effects of this minimal posterior pole vitrectomy combined with sodium hyaluronate gel-assisted flap with non-strict supine postoperative position for 24 hours and traditional vitrectomy combined with flap covering with sterile air-filled vitreous cavity and strict prone postoperative position for three days on the prognosis of macular holes, and to investigate the therapeutic effects of different surgical methods on macular holes and provide a new idea for the surgical treatment of macular holes. To provide new ideas for the surgical treatment of macular hole.

• Процедура minimal posterior pole vitrectomy combined with a sodium hyaluronate gel-covered internal limiting membrane(ILM) flap with balanced saline filling and postoperative supine position
  Vitrectomy of the posterior pole within the vascular arch was performed by a standard 25G ciliary flattening three-way tract procedure, followed by injection of a small amount of tretinoin suspension (TA) to mark the posterior vitreous cortex, which was excised. The inner limiting membrane (ILM) of the macular surface was stained with indocyanine green (ICG, 2.5 mg/ml), and the ILM around the hole was peeled off, leaving a semicircular piece of ILM attached to the hole, and then the single ILM f
• Процедура Conventional vitrectomy combined with inner limiting membrane flap flip coverage with sterile air filling and postoperative prone position
  A standard 25G ciliary flattening three-way tract procedure was taken to perform posterior and midperipheral vitrectomy, followed by injection of a small amount of tretinoin (TA) to label the posterior vitreous cortex and excision of the posterior vitreous cortex within the vascular arch. The ILM on the macular surface was stained with indocyanine green (ICG, 2.5 mg/ml), and the peripapillary ILM was peeled off with forceps, leaving a semicircular piece of ILM attached to the foramen ovale, and
