Surgical Management of Full-Thickness Macular Holes Spontaneously Arising From Lamellar Macular Holes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: To review the literature regarding surgical management of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) spontaneously arising from lamellar MHs (LMHs). Methods: The literature on surgically managed FTMHs arising from LMHs was reviewed via Ovid MEDLINE and Embase through June 5, 2022. Results: Seventy-six eyes from 16 articles were included. Forty eyes had internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, 32 inverted ILM flap techniques, and 4 an unclear surgical technique. The FTMH closure rate was not significantly different between ILM peeling (34/40 [85%]) and the inverted ILM flap techniques (28/32 [88%]) ( P = .761). The mean (±SD) logMAR visual acuity improved from 0.64 ± 0.46 to 0.25 ± 0.22 (Snellen 20/87 to 20/36) with ILM peeling (n = 30); similar data were not available for inverted ILM flap techniques. Conclusions: Foveal tissue loss, flat hole edges, and limited retinal hydration may result in inverted ILM flap techniques having outcomes similar to those of ILM peeling in repairing FTMHs from LMHs. Future studies are needed to compare techniques.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
