目的：描述植入式望远镜假体治疗终末期年龄相关性黄斑变性的手术过程。方法：作为对双侧不可逆年龄相关性黄斑变性患者进行的2/3期临床试验的一部分，确定了单眼植入望远镜假体的最佳手术过程。结果：由于望远镜假体的独特配置，超声乳化后适当的伤口结构、前房管理和器械插入对于手术成功至关重要。独特的手术技术确保了望远镜假体的适当放置，同时减少了对角膜内皮的手术创伤。
Objective: To describe the surgical procedure for placement of an implantable telescope prosthesis for endstage age-related macular degeneration.Methods: As part of a phase 2/3 clinical trial for patients with bilateral, irreversible age-related macular degeneration, the optimal procedure for monocular placement of the telescope prosthesis was determined.Results: Because of the unique configuration of the telescope prosthesis, proper wound construction, anterior chamber management, and device insertion after phacoemulsification are critical for successful surgery.Conclusion: A unique surgical technique ensures appropriate placement of the telescope prosthesis, while reducing surgical trauma to the corneal endothelium.
