INTRAOPERATIVE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND ENDOSCOPY-GUIDED EXPLANTATION OF ARGUS II DEVICE.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe a surgical approach using intraoperative optical coherence tomography and endoscopy for successful Argus II retinal prosthesis system removal.

Methods

Retrospective review of a patient undergoing Argus II explantation 8 months after initial implantation.

Results

Successful explantation of the Argus II device was performed in this patient.

Conclusion

Explantation of the Argus II device can be a difficult surgery, and intraoperative optical coherence tomography and endoscopy can be used to help avoid potential complications.
