Purpose

Retinal autograft acquisition with finesse loop for managing non apposed and failed macular holes

Setting/Venue

We present a case of non apposed failed chronic macular hole with history of macular hole surgery with ILM peeling done with visual acuity of 20/200.

Methods

We present the use of the Finesse loop for obtaining a retinal autograft which provides a complete tissue which is then used to fill the macular hole with a gas tamponade of C3f8 20%, resulting in good anatomical and functional outcomes.

Results

We obtained a type 1 anatomical closure of macular hole with a functional improvement in visual acuity upto 20/60.

Conlusions

The Finesse Flex loop is designed for ILM peeling, can also be used for obtaining retinal autograft and minimizes the need for inducing localized retinal detachment.
