This section is a part of the chapter: Inverted Flap Technique for Posttraumatic macula Hole Surgery in a Young Male Patient in Sub-Saharan Africa
Several variations to the initial technique are described, the temporal internal limiting membrane flap technique peels the ILM only on the temporal side of the fovea and uses it to cover the MH (Michalewska et al., 2020) In the cabbage leaf inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique, multiple ILM flaps are inverted over each other covering the hole (Oderinlo et al., 2020). The technique has been proposed for cases of chronic, large, full-thickness macular holes. (Aurora et al., 2017) In the ILM flap without extra manipulation technique, the flap is not tucked into the macular hole, as originally described. (Chung et al., 2015) Our case report looks into the use of the inverted flap technique for managing patients with post-traumatic macula holes with a single-day supervised face-down positioning.
