    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Retinal breaks and fibrovascular fronds pose significant challenges in ophthalmic surgery.
    • Current photocoagulation methods may have limitations during complex procedures like vitrectomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel endolaser probe for precise argon laser delivery.
    • To assess the efficacy of the endolaser probe in treating retinal breaks and vascular abnormalities during vitrectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an endolaser probe transmitting argon laser energy via fiber optics.
    • The probe is designed for use in fluid- or gas-filled surgical environments.
    • Integration of the probe with an external console for energy control.

    Main Results:

    • The endolaser probe successfully delivered argon laser light for photocoagulation.
    • Panretinal photocoagulation was performed rapidly and conveniently during vitrectomy.
    • Effective management of posterior retinal tears and bleeding fibrovascular fronds was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed endolaser probe offers a rapid and convenient method for photocoagulation during vitrectomy.
    • This technology provides a viable solution for managing complex retinal conditions, including tears and vascular fronds.
    • The system enhances surgical capabilities in treating proliferative retinopathies.
