title: [Efficiency of laser coagulation in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment].
abstract: A hundred and seventeen (143 eyes) patients with different types of retinal detachment were examined. The patients were treated by laser coagulation on a LAHTA device (Milon). The clinical findings indicated the efficiency of retinal laser coagulation as an independent treatment for retinal rhegmatogenous detachment and indications for laser coagulation were defined in the following types of retinal detachment: subclinical local retinal detachment; fresh mobile retinal detachment (Stages A and B); non-mobile retinal detachment occupying not more than one quadrant, and partially self-circumscribed retinal detachment (Stages B and C1) taking up the lower quadrants. The benefits of this method are noninvasiveness and high functional results, which enables laser coagulation to be regarded as an independent effective treatment for the above types of retinal detachment.
