Inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique for myopic macular hole: A meta-analysis

Macular hole (MH) can be a significant complication in patients with high myopia. The recently reported inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique is a promising alternative to treat myopic MHs. We performed a meta-analysis of the published anatomical and functional results of the “inverted ILM flap” technique for the treatment of myopic MH with or without retinal detachment (RD). Our results showed that the inverted ILM flap technique, either covering or insertion, is an effective method for treating myopic MH with or without RD and provides high MH closure ranging from 91.8% to 97.1%.
