Transscleral thermotherapy: short- and long-term effects of transscleral conductive heating in rabbit eyes.
OBJECTIVE To determine the highest safe treatment temperature, at 30- and 60-second exposure durations, for transscleral thermotherapy (TSTT) of choroidal melanoma. METHODS AND DESIGN Transscleral conductive heating was performed in 15 rabbits at 50 degrees C to 70 degrees C for 30 or 60 seconds. The thermal lesions in the ocular fundus were monitored for 4 months with ophthalmoscopic, photog...
متن کاملTransscleral microwave cyclodestruction.
A 4.6-gigahertz (GHz) microwave applicator was used to ablate the ciliary body in rabbit eyes. High-frequency electromagnetic radiation provides a favorable dose distribution to induce local heating of the ciliary body. For treatment, a 3-mm diameter disc-shaped applicator was placed on the conjunctiva and over the ciliary body. Conjunctival temperatures were monitored during treatment with a b...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of thermotherapy for retinoblastoma. DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized analysis of the treatment method. PARTICIPANTS A total of 188 retinoblastomas in 80 eyes of 58 patients who were treated with thermotherapy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Tumor response and ocular adverse effects. RESULTS Of 188 retinoblastomas treated with thermotherapy, mean tumor base was...
متن کاملThe transscleral VER: normal responses.
Normative data taken on a sample of 10 eyes indicate that transscleral visual evoked response (TVER) stimulation of the cortical evoked response with a range of lights and at lower adaptation levels produces replicable, low-variance responses which may be of sufficient quality for the clinical evaluation of retinal and visual pathway condition. Response amplitudes were related to the radiant pe...
متن کاملRETINOPATHY of PREMATURITY Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC) Retinopathy of Prematurity Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC)
Retinopathy of Prematurity Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC) The 810 nm diode laser wavelength makes lens-sparing transscleral coagulation of the retina possible, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transscleral diode laser coagulation for threshold ROP, the authors performed a controlled clinical study. Forty eyes of 20 preterm infants (gestational age 24-29 weeks, mean 26.8...
