FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ophthalmology and can be applied for electrochemical lysis and surgical ablation of intraocular neoplasms. Electrochemical lysis is performed with application of two platinum electrodes. One electrode-anode, made from platinum mesh and provided with handle-holder, making it possible to place electrode and move it within the entire zone of projection of tumour base on sclera, is applied to sclera. The other electrode-cathode, needle-shaped with curved intra-tumour part, is introduced into tumour intraocularly, parallel to sclera with 3 mm indent from the tumour top. In the course of ECL products of tumour decomposition are removed intravitreally by means of vitreotom.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to preserve integrity of sclera in the zone of tumour base projection, reduce risk of recurrences.
