Abstract
We report five cases of persistent macular holes following conventional surgery. Subsequent management included pars plana vitrectomy, extended Trypan Blue-assisted ILM peel and heavy silicone oil (HSO) tamponade with supine posture. To report results of redo macular hole surgery using heavy silicone oil (HSO) tamponade. Retrospective study of patients with primary failure of macular hole surgery, who failed to posture prone due to medical reasons. Further surgery consisted of vitrectomy, extended-dye-assisted ILM peel, and HSO tamponade with supine posture. Anatomical closure of macular holes was achieved in three out of five cases with parallel improvement in visual acuity after 3 months of removal of heavy silicone oil. These were confirmed clinically and by ocular coherence tomography (OCT). HSO may be used as tamponade in patients with unsuccessful primary macular-hole surgery, negating the need of prone posturing post-operatively.
