Retinal detachment after YAG-Laser capsulotomy.
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2009Co-Authors: Svein Salvesen, Nils Eide, Per SyrdalenAbstract:Preoperative findings and postoperative results in 8 patients with retinal detachment after YAG-Laser capsulotomy are described. In this period the over-all incidence of clinical retinal detachment in pseudophakic eyes after YAG capsulotomy in our hospital was 1.0% (2 of 193). Possible relationships between YAG-Laser capsulotomy and retinal detachment are discussed. Two risk factors for developing retinal detachment were found in 6 of 8 patients. After surgical repair 7 retinas were re-attached. The final visual acuity was better than 0.5 in 5 patients.

Treatment of vitreous floaters with neodymium YAG Laser.
The British journal of ophthalmology, 1993Co-Authors: Wu-fu Tsai, Yen-chih ChenAbstract:Fifteen cases of vitreous floaters with serious psychological reactions have been collected. By using a direct ophthalmoscope, causal vitreous opacities were detected. The opacities were photodisrupted with neodymium YAG Laser, using energy levels of 5 to 7.1 mJ and total energy 71 to 742.0 mJ. Symptoms completely disappeared immediately after treatment in all 15 cases. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications noted during a follow up period of at least 1 year. To our knowledge, the use of neodymium YAG Laser to treat vitreous floaters has not been previously described. Our initial experience indicates that the treatment is simple, safe, and effective.

Nd-YAG Laser pleurodesis via thoracoscopy. Endoscopic therapy in spontaneous pneumothorax Nd-YAG Laser pleurodesis.
Chest, 1994Co-Authors: Massimo Torre, Modestina Grassi, Franco Pieri Nerli, Marco Maioli, P. A. BelloniAbstract:From January 1986 to February 1993, 85 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax were treated in our department by a new endoscopic procedure using an Nd-YAG Laser beam via thoracoscopy to obtain permanent pleurodesis and to treat the lung lesion responsible for the air leak. The 55 men and 30 women ranged in age from 16 to 51 years (mean age 26 years). Under general anesthesia the thoracoscope was introduced through a 1-cm incision in the anterior axillary line of the fourth intercostal space. In 68 patients small blebs (less than 2 cm in diameter) were detected and successfully resected with low power Nd-YAG Laser pulses. In two patients found at thoracoscopy to have lesions larger than 2 cm, the Nd-YAG Laser failed to seal the air leak and thoracotomy was performed. Air leaks were not detected at endoscopy in the remaining patients. After treatment of the lung lesions, the parietal pleura was abraded by using the Laser energy. There were no side effects. Eighty patients were treated successfully without recurrence (maximum follow-up 86 months). Three other patients developed recurrence of pneumothorax after 5, 6, and 24 weeks, and surgery was considered mandatory in 2 of them. At thoracotomy, in both patients, a small bleb was detected in the lower lobe and resected. The whole upper lobe was strongly adherent to the parietal pleura in the site of previous Laser abrasion. The authors conclude that Nd-YAG Laser via thoracoscopy should be considered as a viable therapeutic option in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax.
