| Zusammenfassung: | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study reports a case series of patients with persistent macular holes (MHs) who underwent human amniotic membrane subretinal placement to achieve successful anatomic MH closure PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective case series of patients with persistently open full-thickness MHs who underwent human amniotic membrane placement. Patients were observed up to 6 months postoperatively RESULTS: Ten patients were included. The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 1.6 logMAR (20/800). Postoperatively, mean best-corrected visual acuity improved to 1.3 logMAR (20/400) at 1 month and 1.1 logMAR (20/250) by the 3- and 6-month visits. In all cases, the MH appeared closed at the 1-week visit and remained closed at their last follow-up. Optical coherence tomography showed closure in all cases. No adverse events were reported CONCLUSIONS: Human amniotic membrane sub-retinal placement may serve as a useful surgical technique to assist in the closure of recalcitrant macular holes.
