[The role of vitrectomy in the treatment of retinal detachment with macular holes].
The authors discuss the pathogenesis and the method of treatment of a retinal detachment with a macular hole basing on personal material and a review of foreign literature. Personal material consists of 11 eyes in 10 patients operated upon in the University Ophthalmic Department in Munich in the period November 1988--April 1990. In all the cases the primary method of treatment based on vitrectomy performed through the pars plana with a gas tamponade. In 4 cases a reoperation with silicon oil tamponade was necessary. Anatomical reattachment of the retina was achieved in 9 among 11 treated eyes. In 10 cases the visual acuity was 1/50 or better. Five among them showed the visual acuity at last 0.1.
