Objective To investigate the difference of curative effect of various surgical methods for the treatment of idiopathic senile macular hole. Methods A retrospective analysis was made for 86 eyes with stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ idiopathic full-thickness macular hole treated with various modes of operation,ie, single vitrectomy (7 eyes),vitrectomy combined with autologous platelet concentrate (APC) as an adjuvant (40 eyes), vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling (14 eyes), vitrectomy with both ILM peeling and APC treatment (25 eyes). The main outcome measures included anatomic reattachment rate,change of visual acuity,findings of optic coherence tomography (OCT), Amsler grid and intra or postoperative complication evaluations. Results (1) In visual acuity improvement, the APC group (80.0%) was significantly better than anyone of the other three groups (P<0.05). (2) In anatomic success rate, the single vitrectomy group was significantly lower than the vitrectomy with APC treatment group(87.5%)or vitrectomy with both ILM peeling and APC as an adjuvant group(92.0%)(P<0.05). (3) There was no significant difference in operative complication and improvement of distortion of vision. Conclusion Vitrectomy combined with APC as an adjuvant for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole is helpful to improve both the anatomic success rate and postoperative visual acuity. The usage of ILM peeling technique could improve the anatomic reattachment rate, but the vision prognosis of ILM peeling patients is not as good as the patients of APC as an adjuvant.
