INTRAOPERATIVE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND ENDOSCOPY-GUIDED EXPLANTATION OF ARGUS II DEVICE
1Department of Ophthalmology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.
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.
