AbstractBackground: We investigate the safety and feasibility of large retinal pigmentary epithelium (RPE)-Choroid-free graft after surgical drainage of massive sub-macular hemorrhage (SMH) due to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Methods: Four previously untreated patients (three females and one male) underwent to three port pars plana vitrectomy, induction of retinal detachment and peripheral temporal 180° retinotomy. The retina was then folded nasally, to allow access for removal of sub-macular Hg and CNV complex. A full-thickness-large autologus Chorio-RPE patch was grafted. Silicone oil was used as endotemponade for approximately 12 weeks. After removal of silicone oil, the patients were followed-up for 6 months. Results: SMH was completely removed in all cases. It was possible to graft a large RPE patch safely that is sufficiently large to cover the entire defect of macular RPE. At last follow-up, improvement in visual acuity (from 3± 0.9 to 55± 9 ETDRS letters) and recovery of central fixation was observed in all patients. Conclusions: Our surgical technique for large elevated SMH seems to be feasible and efficacious approach to harvest and relocate large RPE patch and to save limited vision in selected patients. © Springer-Verlag 2008.
