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