| Résumé : | Although the macular hole surgery with gas tamponade obtains good results, the face-down positioning for minimum 5 days remains constraining and is often a cause of refusal or abstention concerning the operation. We describe 7 patients who underwent the macular hole surgery by pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and fluid-silicone exchange without position restrictions. The silicone oil has been removed 2 to 3 months later. All the holes have been closed except in one case where the internal limiting membrane had not been peeled with certainty. A second surgery with peeling of this membrane has permitted the hole closure. We don't report any complications induced by the silicone oil. Silicone oil tamponade for macular hole surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling shows a good efficiency without particular positioning and without additional complications. |
