Inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique versus internal limiting membrane peeling for large macular holes: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Conclusions: Vitrectomy with inverted ILM flap technique showed a higher anatomical closure rate as well as visual gain —although only in the short-term as no difference in visual recovery was found at the 6-month follow-up—than did ILM peeling in large MHs. The inverted ILM flap technique should be considered as a preferred and routine procedure for the treatment of patients with MHs larger than 400 µm.
