METHOD FOR APPLYING ELECTROCHEMICAL DESTRUCTION, SURGICAL REMOVAL AND PHOTODYNAMIC PROPHYLAXIS FOR TREATING THE CASES OF INTRAOCULAR NEOPLASMS IN PERFLUORORGANIC MEDIUM Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves filling vitreous cavity with perfluororganic compound. Two electrodes manufactured from platinum group metal are intravitreally, transretinally introduced into intraocular neoplasm. Electrochemical destruction is carried out with current intensity of 10-100 mA during 1-10 min in changing electrodes polarity and their position in the intraocular neoplasm space, and the electrodes are removed. 0.1-1% aqueous solution of khlorin as photosensitizer, selected from group containing photolon, radachlorine or photoditazine, is intravenously introduced at a dose of 0.8-1.1 mg/kg. Visual control of intraocular neoplasm cells fluorescence is carried out by applying fluorescent diagnosis methods. After saturating the intraocular neoplasm with the photosensitizer to maximum saturation level, intravitreous, transretinal laser radiation of 661-666 nm large wavelength is applied at a dose of 30-120 J/cm² in perfluororganic compound medium. The transformed retina and tumor destruction products are intravitreally removed with perfluororganic compound volume being compensated with its additional introduction. Boundary-making endolasercoagulation of retinotomy area is carried out. The perfluororganic compound is substituted with silicon oil. The operation is ended in placing sutures over sclerotmy areas and over conjunctiva. Perfluormetylcyclohexylperidin, perfluortributylamine or perfluorpolyester or like are used as the perfluororganic compound for filling vitreous cavity. Platinum, iridium or rhodium are used as the platinum group metals.

EFFECT: complete destruction of neoplasm; reduced dissemination risk.
