SURGICAL METHOD OF TREATING LOW-ACTIVITY FIBROVASCULAR MEMBRANE WITH REPLACING DEFECT OF RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61F9/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly ophthalmology, and can be used to treat a low-activity fibrovascular membrane of the macular area. The method involves performing subtotal vitrectomy, removing the fibrovascular membrane, packing the retina with a perfluoroorganic compound followed by replacing by air and SF6 gas in an amount of 2 ml and performing and a laser endolasercoagulation of the retina. That is preceded by performing iridectomy and separating the pigment layer of the diameter of 1 mm. That involves preparing a suspension of 0.85% NaCl 0.2 ml and the pigment layer. The prepared suspension is introduced to replace the removed fibrovascular membrane before packing the retina with the perfluoroorganic compound and performing endolasercoagulation.

EFFECT: using the invention provides the partial restoration of the morphological structure and functional adequacy of the retina involved into the developing fibrovascular tissue.
