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.
