Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 1999, 237:313-325. Thirty patients were treated with vitrectomy, 360° retinotomy, removal of choroidal neovascularization, and varying amounts of strabismus surgery, resulting in some cases of visual improvement but numerous complications and side effects.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 1999, 237:51-57. Seven patients underwent vitrectomy with 360° retinotomy and removal of choroidal neovascularization producing promising results, including minimal torsional side effects, although strabismus surgery was performed.

Limited translocation was combined with intraoperative excision of choroidal neovascularization instead of treating the neovascularization after surgery with laser photocoagulation.
