About this study

This retrospective observational case series includes nine patients received surgery for retinal detachment due to paracentral retinal breaks developed either from primary rhegmatogenous orgin, or secondary iatrogenic retinal breaks after prior membrane peeling or during surgery for tractional retinal detachment. Either inverted or free internal limiting membrane flaps were inserted in the identified breaks, followed by air fluid exchange and gas tamponade. Visual acuity and structural changes were evaluated.
