Preliminary findings demonstrate improved anatomical and functional outcomes using autologous retinal transplantation for full-thickness macular holes.
The introduction of autologous neurosensory retinal transplantation (ANRT) into vitreoretinal surgery has significantly improved the success rates of closure of refractory full-thickness macular holes (FTMH). In recent years, the technique has gained wide acceptance and its indications have expanded; however, certain aspects remain debatable — particularly the optimal graft size to ensure the best anatomical and functional outcomes. To address this issue, the study proposes a surgical technique for treating FTMH using ANRT that involves precise marking of the neurosensory retinal graft. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated in a series of three clinical cases.
