EFFICACY OF RADIO-WAVE SURGERY IN TREATMENT OF MELANOMAS OF THE IRIDOCILIARY ZONE AND CHOROIDS (PRELIMINARY RESULTS)

Maletskiy A. P., Khomyakova E. V.

Odessa, Ukraine

Analysis of the results of surgical treatment was made in 31 patients (aged 56 ± 9.2) with melanoma of the iris, ciliary body and choroidea (21 women, 10 men). In19 cases melanoma was located in the iridociliary zone (extension of the tumor was (5.04 ± 2.0) mm, prominence — (2.4 ± 1.5) and in 12 cases — it was located in the iris, ciliary body and choroidea (extension of the tumor was (9.8 ± 1.0) mm, prominence — (6.2 ± 1.7) mm. The use of high frequency radio-wave surgery allowed to decrease considerably the risk of development of intra-operation and postoperative complications and, thus, to preserve high visual functions in 15 of 23 patients.
