Transpupillary Diode Laser Retinal Photocoagulation for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity: Experience in Southern Iran

Transpupillary Diode Laser Retinal Photocoagulation for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity: Experience in Southern Iran

Dear Editor, Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an ischemic retinopathy of premature and low birth weight infants. According to the early treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ETROP) study, 68% of infants with birth weight less than 1,251 grams developed ROP of any degree. 1 ROP is a potentially blinding disorder and approximately 300 children per million live births have at least one eye ...

[Diode laser photocoagulation of retinopathy of prematurity].

OBJECTIVE To describe diode laser photocoagulation results in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in our hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD Retrospective cross-sectional study based on clinical histories of the premature infants treated during the period from 2004 to 2008. RESULTS In the treated group we found a predominance of pre-threshold retinopathy versus threshold retinopathy (84.35% vs 15.65...

P 402 New advance in the treatment of the retinopathy of prematurity: Laser diode photocoagulation

PURPOSE: We studied the effects of exposure to mitomycin C and 5-Fluorcuracil to human RPE cultures, in growth inhibition and citoxicity. METHODS: 1) Growth inhibition: RPE cultures (3.000 cells/well) were exposed to different concentrations of mitomycin C and 5-Fluorouracil, and cell viability (MTT test) was evaluated 48h, 72h and 96h after. 2) Citotoxicity: RPE cultures (10.000 cells/well) we...

RETINOPATHY 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...

Diode laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity: outcomes after 7 years of treatment.

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) at one institution in Romania. METHODS This retrospective case series included all infants who received indirect diode laser photocoagulation for ROP between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2012. RESULTS The 160 eyes of 83 infants were classified into two ca...
