[Laser instrumental surgery in prevention and treatment of retinal detachment. I].
Detachment of the retina, developing in the presence of aggravating factors, and its elimination by means of an original laser surgical method became the object of this study. Visulas YAG laser (Karl Zeiss) fitted with an endolaser output was used. Coagulation energy was 0.2-0.9 Wt, YAG laser energy 0.1-9.2 mJ, up to 170 pulses. Analysis was carried out in 38 patients with subretinal adhesions, incarceration of the retina in the scleral wound, and rupture of the retina with its edge folded and elevated. All laser interventions were operations of choice and became the first stage in laser surgical treatment of detachment of the retina. Relapses occurred in 10 (27.7%) cases.
