(1)低出力安定型CO2レーザー装置LMC-352とCO2レーザー伝導効率の高いKRS-5ファイバーを使用し,先の動物実験の結果をもとに経強膜網膜凝固を臨床的に応用した.その結果,網膜剥離の裂孔閉鎖や周辺部変性の剥離予防手術において,18眼中17眼に良好な結果を得た.
(2)凝固条件の安全域が広く,適正条件は凝固出力300mW〜450mW,凝固時間10秒〜40秒であった.適正出力ではかなり長時間照射しても重篤な合併症はなく,たとえ過剰凝固となっても冷凍凝固のような網脈絡膜出血や裂孔形成は発生しなかった.また,今回の条件範囲内では,強膜への障害は全く認めなかった.
(3)本法は冷凍凝固に比べ,凝固斑が小さく,先端のファイバーチップの交換により凝固サイズの変更も可能で,位置的にも精密な凝固が可能であった.また凝固直後から凝固斑が明瞭であり,同一部位を重複凝固することなく,正確な凝固斑の配列が可能であった.
(4)本法による網膜凝固で,硝子体への影響はみられなかった.
We treated 18 eyes with equatorial degeneration or retinal tear using carbon dioxide laser applied transs-clerally. Satisfactory chorioretinal adhesion was achieved in 17 eyes. The combination of low-power output, high stability laser system and high-transmis-sion KRS-5 fiber optics seemed to have contributed to the clinical success. As the optimum setting, we used power output level of 300 to 400 mW and 10 to 40 seconds for each laser application. Throughout the present series, we encountered no serious complications as coagulation of the sclera, chorioretinal hemorrhages or hole formation.
When compared with transscleral cryocautery, this method involved obvious merits as small lesions of variable sizes could be obtained. The fundus lesions could be identified immediately after each coagulation, enabling to perform regularly placed and precise coa-gulations. As the retinal coagulation with this system does not on the laser energy transmission through the sclera but on heat conduction radiating through the sclera, the effects to the vitreous appeared to be of negligible level.
