METHOD OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RETINAL FOLDS IN FORM OF DUPLICATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to ophthalmology, and cab ne used for treatment of retinal folds in form of duplication. Subtotal vitrectomy is performed. Epiretinal membranes are ablated. PFOC is introduced, covering only central zone of retina to fold level. In flat part of ciliary body in area of retina duplication additional microinvasive port is installed under retina, without puncturing nit, then, small amount of physiological solution is introduced through it under pressure. With complete unfolding of duplication evacuation of liquid from under retina is performed through existing rupture or point retinotomy on extreme periphery is formed by means of vitreotom. After that, PFOC is additionally introduced, filling entire volume of vitreal cavity. Endolaser coagulation of retina is performed. PFOC is substituted with silicone or air-gas mixture.

EFFECT: method contributes to faster recovery of visual functions, reduction of surgical trauma due to reduction of number of manipulations with retina tissue and reduction of probability of its iatrogenic injuries, which contributes to prevention of development of retinal detachment recurrence.
