In the 24 eyes of the Inserted group, there was no regeneration of external limiting membrane or ellipsoid zone after 12 months. In the 38 eyes of Cover group, external limiting membrane recovered in 55.3% of patients 1 month after surgery, and in 86.1% after 12 months. The elipsoid zone layer was present in 58% of the patients.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Poorer anatomical and visual results were associated with the IF technique where ILM insertion occurs compared with ILM placed over the hole.
