The article provides a review of national and foreign literature on the current aspects of surgical treatment of large-scale macular holes. The current surgical procedures for the treatment of macular holes, their advantages and disadvantages are described; data on the anatomical and functional results of the use of these techniques are given. The prospects of further improvement and development of surgery for resistant macular holes are considered.

Key words: macular hole, internal limiting membrane, vitreo-macular interface, chromovitrectomy.
