Subconjunctival anesthesia in contact diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.
BACKGROUND Retro- or peribulbar anesthesia are the standard procedures for cyclodestructive surgery. Because these methods of anesthesia may further compromise optic nerve function, especially in advanced glaucoma, subconjunctival anesthesia was evaluated as an alternative procedure in contact diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (CPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study concerning diode l...

Cyclodestructive procedures are generally used for refractory glaucomas. Previously it has been carried out by various methods like surgical excision of ciliary body,1 cyclodiathermy,2,3 cycloirradiation,4 cycloelectrolysis,5 cyclocryotherapy,6-9 ultrasound,10 microwave cyclodestruction,11 and currently by cyclophotocoagulation. Laser cyclophotocoagulation has now become the principal method of...

682 infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Though all these lasers would have some effect on melanin, three wavelength bands are most useful for treating pigmented lesions green, red, and infrared.[1] Its not only about the wavelength, it is more about the right pulse duration and at sufficient fluence. Since green and blue light lasers are long pulsed continuous waves, they cause a ...

Considerable discussion still centres around the relative merits of the Argon and Neodymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (NdYAG) lasers for the endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal haemorrhage, although both are undoubtedly effect. We have carried out experiments to elucidate which factors determine the safety and efficacy of NdYAG laser photocoagulation. Histological studies on normal gastric m...
متن کاملVariability of contact transscleral neodymium:YAG cyclophotocoagulation.
PURPOSE To study the variability of ciliary body lesions created by contact Nd:YAG cyclophotocoagulation and to evaluate modifications in probe design to reduce this variability. METHODS Contact transscleral Nd:YAG cyclophotocoagulation was performed on fresh, enucleated porcine eyes in three ways: using a standard, handheld fiber-optic probe (98 eyes); using the same probe with an adjunctive...
