From: Refractory macular hole repaired by autologous retinal graft and blood clot
Schematic drawings showing autologous retinal graft transposition with autologous blood clot surgical technique for repairing refractory macular holes. (a) Select the retinal graft harvest site outside the vascular arcade. White dotted circle indicates the area of an autologous retinal graft that is facilitated by laser photocoagulation. (b) The edge of the retinal graft was cut using vertical scissors. (c) Retinal graft was obtained and gently moved toward insertion within the macular hole. (d) Retinal graft was stabilized by placing autologous fresh blood over it. The fresh blood soon became a clot on the surface of the macula, and the retina graft and blood clots to seal the hole in a few minutes as a macular plug
