Abstract
A retrospective interventional case series was performed to evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of macular hole surgery aided with TISEEL commercial fibrin sealant. Seven eyes of seven patients were included: three with a recurrent macular hole, one with a traumatic macular hole, and three with primary macular holes. All eyes underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, fluid air exchange, instillation of 1–2 drops of the commercial fibrin sealant on the hole, and C3F8 gas injection. The macular hole was closed in all seven patients; they showed significant improvement in visual acuity and no ocular or systemic complications.
