Summary:Summary Free ILM flap technique for difficult macular hole cases: Failed macular holes, macular holes associated with pathologic myopia and retinal detachment and chronic atrophic macular holes are usually difficult to handle with standard techniques. Here we describe the PFCL‐assisted free ILM flap technique as a good surgical option for failed MH closures. The technique is very promising in retaining the flap during the crucial FAE, which results in favorable outcomes, both morphological and functional.
