Abstract

Subretinal implants aim to replace photoreceptor function in patients suffering from degenerative retinal disease like retinitis pigmentosa by topically applying electrical stimuli in the subretinal space. This study-as a last step before upcoming human trials-explored a newly developed surgical technique for permanent implantation of complex subretinal implants with extra-ocular parts. The implant consisted of a microphoto-diode array (MPDA) with 1550 electrodes and a 4x4 array of gold electrodes for direct electrical stimulation; both were mounted onto a polyimide foil for transscleral placement into the subretinal space. The foil carried connection lanes to a silicone cable that was implanted under the skin and led to a stimulator box in the animal's neck. Surgery was performed in 11 domestic pigs. Improved vitreo-retinal surgical technique consisted of a 180 degrees peripheral retinotomy and use of diathermy to penetrate the choroid in order to avoid choroidal haemorrhage. Subretinal forceps were used to place the implant safely onto the retinal pigment epithelium before the retina was flattened, peripheral laser photocoagulation was applied and the eye was filled with silicon oil. The implant was stabilized by a scleral fi...Continue Reading
