    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Macular holes significantly impair vision, with standard treatments showing lower efficacy for chronic or large defects.
    • Advanced surgical techniques are emerging for refractory macular holes, including amniotic membrane (AM) grafts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel surgical approach using epiretinal AM transplantation for a large, chronic, treatment-refractory macular hole.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of AM patch removal after facilitating macular hole closure.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved a patient with a large chronic stage-4 macular hole unresponsive to standard treatment.
    • Epiretinal AM transplantation was performed, utilizing a large AM patch (> 6 mm) as a temporary pre-retinal scaffold.
    • The AM patch was surgically removed 2 months post-transplantation.

    Main Results:

    • Successful closure of the large chronic macular hole was achieved with the AM transplantation technique.
    • The subsequent removal of the AM patch was feasible, indicating a potential two-stage approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Epiretinal AM transplantation is a viable and novel surgical option for large, chronic macular holes refractory to conventional treatments.
    • The feasibility of AM patch removal highlights the need for further refinement of this technique for optimal outcomes in macular hole surgery.
