Abstract
Retinal detachment with macular hole was treated by different methods. Intravitreal SF6 injection was helpful to seal the macular hole and reattach the retina. In cases of retinal detachment with macular hole and peripheral retinal tear, the retinal reattachment could be achieved by scleral buckling procedure. When vitreous traction adjacent to the macular hole or proliferative vitreoretinopathy was present, vitrectomy combined with internal temponade by SF6 gas injection was indicated. Failure of the operation was caused by inadequate removal of the vitreous traction and post-operative vitreoretinopathy. In a successful operation, visual acuity of 6/60 or better was found in eight of thirty-one patients. (25.8%)
