(1,2,3) Transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TS-CPC) is currently a widely employed method of ciliary body ablation that reduces aqueous humor formation by destroying the ciliary body and ciliary epithelium using a continuous diode laser energy source.
Eight patients in the TA group required a bleb revision ( n = 5) or a secondary glaucoma surgery ( n = 3; two trabeculectomy and one transscleral cyclophotocoagulation).
During the follow-up period (median of 30.9 months, IQR: 20.8-62.8 months), 33 glaucoma surgeries were performed (number of surgeries): transconjunctival cyclophotocoagulation (27) and trabeculectomy (6).
Surgical treatment includes procedures used for treating glaucoma (argon laser trabeculoplasty, goniotomy, trabeculotomy, trabeculectomy with or without associated topical antimetabolites, surgery with implantation of glaucoma drainage devices and cyclocryotherapy or cyclophotocoagulation) and a prophylactic procedure (prophylactic goniotomy) [1, 13].
* Cyclophotocoagulation. Used most often in advanced or severe cases of glaucoma, this procedure uses the laser beam to destroy parts of the ciliary body that produce the aqueous humor fluid.
Recently, cyclophotocoagulation of the ciliary body with a laser for the treatment of glaucoma in dogs has been recognized as a potential cause of KCS, favoring the installation of corneal ulcers (WEIGT et al., 2002).
Subconjunctival anaesthesia (SCA) has been shown to be effective and safe for a range of ophthalmic surgical procedures, including extracapsular cataract extraction, phacoemulsification, trabeculectomy, phaco-trabeculectomy and contact diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (1-5).
Dillon is also using Endoscopic Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP), a laser treatment that effectively treats all forms of glaucoma and, according to Dr.
