ABSTRACT
Adjuncts that have been used in surgery for age-related
macular degeneration (AMD) include tissue plasmi-
nogen activator (tPA), balance salt solution (BSS),
and calcium-and magnesium-free retinal detach-
ment-enhancing solutions. The surgeries in which
these solution have been used include submacular
surgery to excise choroidal neovascular membranes,
large-scale macular translocation surgery, limited
macular translocation surgery, evacuation, or displace-
ment of submacular hemorrhages. In addition to these
adjuncts, triamcinolone acetonide (TA) has been
injected into the subretinal space for the treatment of
choroidal neovascular membranes.
