[The role of surgery in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration].
The place of surgery in DMLA amounts to the surgical treatment of choroidal neovascular membranes and submacular hemorrhage.

However, despite a high complication rate, these surgical methods should not disappear from our therapeutic arsenal because they have proved their ability to restore good visual acuity.
