PHOTODYNAMIC SURGICAL METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF INTRAOCULAR NEOPLASMS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves creating tunnel between sclera and Tenon's capsule in intraocular neoplasm projection. Intraocular neoplasm localization and size is adjusted by applying transscleral diaphanoscopic examination method. 0.1-0.3 ml of photosensitizing gel based on viscoelastic of hyaluronic acid, selected from group containing chealon, viscoate or hyatulon, is transsclerally introduced into intraocular neoplasm structure using special purpose needle in dosed manner. The photosensitizing gel contains khlorin, selected from group containing photolon, radachlorine or photoditazine in the amount of 0.1-1% by mass. Flexible polymer magnetolaser implant is extrasclerally introduced into the built tunnel in intraocular neoplasm projection zone under visual control using guidance beam. The implant has permanent ring-shaped magnet axially magnetized and producing permanent magnetic field of 3-4 mTesla units intensity, in the center of which a short focus scattering lens of laser radiator is fixed. The lens is connected to light guide in soft flexible envelope. The implant is arranged with its north pole turned towards the intraocular neoplasm so that implant laser radiator lens is extrasclerally arranged in intraocular neoplasm projection zone. The implant light guide is sutured to sclera 5-6 mm far from the limb with single interrupted suture. The implant is covered with conjunctiva and relaxation sutures are placed over it. Light guide outlet is attached to temple using any known method. Visual control of intraocular neoplasm cells is carried out by applying fluorescence and fluorescent diagnosis methods. After saturating the intraocular neoplasm with the photosensitizer to maximum saturation level, transscleral intraocular neoplasm laser radiation treatment is carried out via laser light guide and implant lens using divergent laser radiation at wavelength of 661-666 nm. The treatment course being over, the flexible polymer magnetolaser implant is removed and sutures are placed on conjunctiva. Permanent magnet of the flexible polymer magnetolaser implant is manufactured from samarium-cobalt, neodymium-iron-boron or samarium-iron-nitrogen. 0.1-1% khlorin solution as photosensitizer, selected from group containing photolon, radachlorine or photoditazine, is additionally intravenously introduced in 2-3 days at a dose of 0.8-1.1 mg/kg and repeated laser irradiation of the intraocular neoplasm is carried out with radiation dose of 30-45 J/cm² 15-20 min later during 30-90 s.

EFFECT: complete destruction of neoplasm; excluded its further growth.
