Summary

Macular translocation surgery aims to treat age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) by relocating retinal tissue. While foveal relocation was achieved, complications like retinal detachment led to significant vision loss in most patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 60.
  • Exudative ARMD treatment is evolving, with macular translocation emerging as a surgical option.

Observation:

  • A limited translocation technique, scleral imbrication, was used to treat three patients with exudative ARMD.
  • The surgical goal was to move neuroretinal epithelium away from subfoveolar lesions.
  • Follow-up was conducted over two years post-surgery.

Findings:

  • Foveal relocation was successful in all three operated eyes.
  • Two patients experienced postoperative complications, including tractional retinal detachment due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
  • Vision outcomes varied, with one patient showing slight improvement after cataract surgery, while the other two suffered severe visual acuity loss due to complications.

Implications:

  • Macular translocation is a developing surgical technique with ongoing modifications.
  • The risk of severe visual acuity loss is linked to surgical complexity and extent.
  • Further research is needed to refine techniques and mitigate postoperative complications in ARMD treatment.
