The existing controversy regarding the pathophysiology and management of MHs has significantly improved with the implementation of internal limiting membrane (ILM) surgical techniques and improved MH closure rates. Thus, to determine the effect of ILM techniques on large idiopathic and refractory MH management, the present study systematically reviewed 5910 original research articles extracted from online literature databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Embase, following the PRISMA guidelines. The primary outcome measures were MH closure rate and postoperative visual acuity. A total of 23 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with adequate patient information and information on the effect of ILM peeling, inverted ILM flaps, autologous retinal transplantation (ART), and ILM insertion techniques on large idiopathic and refractory MH patients were retrieved and analyzed using RevMan software (version 5.3) provided by the Cochrane Collaboration. Statistical risk of bias analysis was also conducted on the selected sources using RoB2, which showed a low risk of bias in the included studies. A meta-analysis indicated that the inverted ILM flap technique had a significantly greater MH closure rate for primary MH than the other treatment methods (OR = 3. 22, 95% CI 1.34-7.43; p = 0.01). Furthermore, the findings showed that the inverted ILM flap group had significantly better postoperative visual acuity than did the other treatment options for patients with idiopathic MH (WMD = - 0.13; 95% CI = 0.22-0.09; p = 0.0002). The ILM peeling technique had the second highest statistical significance for MH closure rates in patients with idiopathic MH (OR = 2. 72, 95% CI: 1.26-6.32; p = 0.016). In refractory MHs, autologous retinal transplant (ART) and multilayer ILM plug (MIP) techniques improve the closure rate and visual function; human amniotic membrane grafting (hAMG) provides a high degree of anatomical outcomes but disappointing visual results. This study demonstrated the reliability and effectiveness of ILM techniques in improving the functional and anatomical outcomes of large idiopathic and refractory MH surgery. These findings will help clinicians choose the appropriate treatment technique for patients with idiopathic and refractory MH.</p>","PeriodicalId":14289,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Retina and Vitreous","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11193206/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141436888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
