They suggest that improving the success of a single surgery may require greater caution in eyes with large MH, preoperative ERM and a history of DRR with macula-off, although only the latter clinical factor was significant in multivariate analysis. In such cases, techniques such as ILM transplantation, injection of plasma rich in growth factors, longer mechanical pressure with silicone oil or heavy silicone oil injection and traction relief by complete ILM peeling should be considered.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Visual outcomes following MH closure are variable and in most cases improvement in visual acuity has been reported.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1–4</span></a> OCT images showing subfoveal disruption of the ellipsoid area may predict worse outcomes.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Considering that the MH of the present patient was large and that she had a history of DRR with macula-off, it was decided to use PRGF membrane given the risk of recurrence without evidence of recurrence one year after surgery and with visual improvement. It is important to mention that when using PRGF membrane in our patients we did not routinely perform ILM peeling with high MH closure rates.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">PRGF membrane has mechanical properties and strengths that allow it to be used in surgical procedures. It has been shown to contain growth factors that are released in a progressive and sustained manner and serve as a scaffold for cell regeneration. The mechanism related to the closure of the MH is given by the trophic action of growth factors such as PDGF, b-FGF and EGF and by the activation of Muller cells.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> This technique has been used in the management of complex MHs with excellent anatomical and functional results in the short and long term as in the case of recurrent MHs.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> recurrent myopic MHs<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> and secondary to diseases such as macular telangiectasia type 2 where they are an infrequent complication.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We report this case as macular holes in long-term vitrectomised eyes are rare.
