"General
Background
...Success rates of 90% have been reported
with use of face-down
positioning following macular hole
repair. Without face-down positioning, or in cases of
poor compliance to positioning,
success
rates have dropped to 60%....
Summary
The vitrectomy support system
assists the patient in maintaining a face-down
position postoperatively, while allowing the affected eye to
heal. Using these ergonomic positioning
aids, the patient is able to comply with the strict positioning
requirements. The patient may be at risk for
poor postoperative outcomes if there is lack of compliance with the
face-down positions..."
