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.
Table 1: Summary of 6 peer-reviewed studies on diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCP) with or without Ahmed valve placement, for control of glaucoma in dogs. ICLE, Intracapsular Lens Extraction
8 sty 2024 · Medical records of 389 eyes (301 dogs) following ECP were reviewed. Outcomes evaluated included follow-up time, intraocular pressure (IOP), vision status, additional ECP procedures performed, number of medications, and complications.
20 maj 2019 · The use of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation with a diode laser for the treatment of glaucoma occurring post intracapsular extraction of displaced lenses: a retrospective study of 15 dogs (1995–2000). Vet Ophthalmol. 2003; 6:113‐119. [Google Scholar]
1 maj 2012 · In veterinary ophthalmology, gas lasers (CO 2 lasers) and semiconductor lasers (diode lasers) are used primarily, but the therapy of posterior capsular opacification with the Nd:YAG laser has also been described.
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. ‐.
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.
