Transscleral diode laser retinopexy in retinal reattachment surgery

چکیده
Purpose: Transscleral diode retinal photocoagulation (diopexy) is becoming an accepted technique in the treatment of selected retinal diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate diopexy technique in the production of adhesive chorioretinal lesions during the surgical treatment of the rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods: 25 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were enrolled in a prospective clinicalsurgical study to evaluate the technique of transscleral diode laser photocoagulation to obtain adhesive chorioretinal lesions during retinal reattachment surgery. The surgery consisted of the placement of an exoplant silicon to produce a buckle effect combined with a drainage of subretinal fluid in most cases. Results: By a mean follow-up of 10 months, 21 of 25 eyes had their retinas reattached after only one surgery with diopexy used in all cases. Conclusion: Transscleral diode laser photocoagulation was a technically easy, controlled, effective, reproducible and safe means of obtaining chorioretinal adhesion in retinal reattachment surgery.

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...

It has been well established that laser treatment for type 1 prethreshold retinopathy of prematurity is effective in approximately 90 percent of treated eyes, avoiding retinal detachment.1 Transpupillary laser therapy is certainly the standard; however, there are circumstances in which transpupillary treatment may be difficult or impossible to perform thus allowing progression of retinopathy of...
