Human amniotic membrane patch and platelet-rich plasma to promote retinal hole repair in a recurrent retinal detachment.

The adjunctive use of PRP and high viscosity silicon oil allows to reducing the standard face-down positioning timing, representing a valid solution for elderly patients who have difficulties maintaining the position for long periods.
