“…Still, the advantages over surgery with platelets for example have to be investigated. Treatment of retinal detachment arising from macular holes in high myopia has been described [5,47]. All of the above indications will need randomized trials to demonstrate whether there HSO is superior to conventional tamponades.…”

“…In fact, it has been demonstrated that in the upright position, a standard silicone oil bubble does not conform with the foveal depression. 35 Prone posturing may be inconvenient or impossible for elderly patients, especially those with multiple comorbidities such as arthritis, cervical spine problems, obesity, and particular social and family circumstances. The consequence is nonclosure of the macular hole and redetachment of the retina.…”

“…[19][20][21][22][23]35,36 Cheung et al 37 reported successful surgery for myopic macular hole with RD using oxane as endotamponade. The surgical outcomes in their uncontrolled pilot study of 12 eyes were promising with 83% macular hole closure and reattachment after a single surgery and after oil removal and a mean follow-up of 12 months.…”

“…Die Schwierigkeiten liegen: 1. in der korrekten Diagnosestellung, die erst mit OCT-Geräten der neuen Generation zuverlässig zu stellen ist [27], da die Frühstadien der Erkrankung und eine Progression ophthalmoskopisch fast nicht zu diagnostizieren sind, 2. in der Therapieempfehlung, da eine Progression nicht in allen Fällen zu erwarten ist bzw. die chirurgischen Ergebnisse in den Frühstadien der Erkrankung keine Vorteile gegenüber dem Spontanverlauf bieten [5,11], und 3. in der chirurgischen Therapie, die sich äußerst schwierig gestaltet und mit zahlreichen Komplikationen verbunden ist [34]. Vielfältige chirurgische Verfahren wurden in den letzten Jahren zur Therapie dieser Erkrankung vorgeschlagen bzw.…”
