OCT findings after autologous retinal transplantation (ART) of case 1. (a) OCT scan obtained before surgery showing a macular hole with a diameter of 811 mum. The BCVA was 20/200. (b) OCT obtained at postoperative 4 weeks after ART showing early integration of the flap and some glial tissue seen in the outer retina. The BCVA was 20/150. (c) OCT scan obtained at postoperative 12 months showing further reconstitution of the ELM and EZ bands and a decrease of glial tissue. The BCVA was 20/100. (d) OCT scan obtained at postoperative 24 months showing properly positioned in situ of the flap. The BCVA was maintained at 20/100.

Figure 2 shows the clinical outcome of an autologous neurosensory retinal free flap transplantation for large MH in a patient.
OCT findings after autologous retinal transplantation (ART) of case 5. (a) Baseline OCT showing a large macular hole with a diameter of 2209 mum. The BCVA was 20/2000. (b) One-month follow-up OCT of the same patient. It showed retinal flap integration with the edges of the macular hole. (c) 12-month follow-up OCT. It showed further reconstitution of the ELM and EZ bands. The BCVA was 20/100. (d) Seventeen months postoperation, the inner retinal cystic change was seen on OCT, but BCVA was 20/133.

During the 24-month postoperative follow-up, SD-OCT pictures reveal the consistent closure of MH.  Figure 3 shows the clinical outcome of an autologous neurosensory retinal free flap transplantation for a patient with large MH.
