METHOD FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL TREATMENT OF SCLERAL BED FOLLOWING ENDORESECTION OF INTRAOCULAR NEW GROWTHS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61F9/07 A61N5/67 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to ophthalmology and ophthalmic oncology, and can be used for the scleral bed treatment following an endoresection of an intraocular new growth. To this effect, the endoresection of the intraocular new growth is followed by applying an active point of one needle electrode on the surface of a scleral bed in parallel to a retinotomy border at 0.5-0.7 mm therefrom. A second electrode is applied in parallel to the first one at 3-4 mm towards the centre of the scleral bed. An electrolysis is performed at current intensity 5 mA for 10 seconds. That is followed by moving the electrodes gradually along the surface of the scleral bed, first circularly in parallel to the retinotomy border, and then from the periphery to the centre. The electrolysis covers the entire area of the scleral bed at current intensity 5 mA for 10 seconds in each electrode position.

EFFECT: method enables avoiding the tumour cell survival on the scleral bed after the endoresection of the intraocular new growth and preventing developing remote postoperative recurrences and metastases.
