In this procedure, diode laser energy is applied with a contact probe positioned external to the sclera, 3-4 mm posterior to the limbus, presumptively overlying the location of the ciliary body (Figure 1).

7 gru 2023 · The ECP probe contains a diode laser (810 nm wavelength), a 175 W xenon light source, a helium-neon aiming beam, and an endoscope. The heads of the ciliary processes were photocoagulated until they shrunk, avoiding visible “pops.” The laser energy was titrated to effect.
Cyclophotocoagulation is a laser surgery used to treat glaucoma in dogs provided by a veterinary ophthalmologist. The treatment option for glaucoma involves the surgical destruction of the eye’s ciliary body.
1 maj 2012 · This paper presents and discusses the most common indications for the use of the diode and CO 2 lasers. Diode lasers are mainly used in the treatment of glaucoma, either by transscleral cyclophotocoagulation or by endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation.
3 lis 2022 · Laser surgery options include Transscleral or Endoscopic Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation. During laser surgery, a highly focused beam of light is used to break down, cut, or destroy tissue. The laser is applied to the eye's ciliary body, decreasing fluid production, and therefore reducing pressure.
ECP uses a diode laser equipped with an endoscope which permits direct localization and photocoagulation of the ciliary processes. The procedure can be combined with phacoemulsification in patients with coexisting cataract.
Surgical treatment of glaucoma is directed toward altering aqueous humor pro-duction, drainage, or a combination of both.1 A common surgical treatment for canine glaucoma is transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC).1Traditional TSCPC uses continuous wave diode laser to destroy the ciliary body. ‐.
