Autologous Tenon's Capsule Graft for Refractory Macular Holes

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective interventional study evaluates the anatomical and functional outcomes of autologous Tenon's capsule grafting in patients with refractory full-thickness macular holes. Eligible patients include those with chronic large macular holes (\>400 µm) or persistent holes following prior pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade. Anatomical closure will be assessed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and functional outcomes will be evaluated by best-corrected visual acuity over a 3-month follow-up period.

  • Macular Hole Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Autologous Tenon's Capsule Graft Placement

Participants will undergo 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy. Autologous Tenon's capsule tissue will be harvested through conjunctival peritomy, trimmed appropriately, and placed into the macular hole using intraocular forceps. Perfluorocarbon liquid may be used for graft stabilization, followed by silicone oil tamponade. Silicone oil removal is planned after 8-12 weeks.
