Sumario:PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of human amniotic membrane in promoting closure of macular holes coexisting with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS: This is a retrospective case series of 14 eyes (14 patients) with macula off retinal detachment. These patients had a macular hole coexistent with peripheral retinal breaks. A human amniotic membrane plug was used to close the macular hole during vitrectomy without ILM peeling. RESULTS: The mean preoperative BCVA (logMAR value) was 1.87 ± 0.31. At the 6-month follow-up visit, the mean LogMAR best-corrected visual acuity was 0.67 ± 0.17. At the 6-month follow-up, all patients showed complete retinal reattachment with macular hole closure. CONCLUSION: The use of human amniotic membrane is a valid option in surgery for macular holes coexisting with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
