摘要
PURPOSE: To report that optical coherence tomography as early as 24 hours after macular hole surgery shows anatomic configuration of the closed macular holes. METHOD: In a prospective study, seven eyes of seven consecutive patients with stage 3 or 4 idiopathic macular hole underwent surgery. Optical coherence tomography was performed preoperatively and at 24, 48, and 72 hours after the surgery. RESULTS: Optical coherence tomography images could be obtained on four out of the seven eyes at 24 hours after surgery. These images showed anatomic configuration of the closed macular holes. Surgical success was confirmed in all of the eyes when the gas was completely absorbed, CONCLUSION: Optical coherence tomography revealed anatomic configuration of surgically closed macular holes within 24 hours after successful surgery.
