Surgical management of macular holes involves removal of tractional
prefovial vitreous cortex. Accurately identifying this adherent tissue can
potentially decrease intraoperative complications. A new, effective
technique using autologous whole blood can be used to identify and
facilitate separation of the posterior cortical vitreous.
