| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate the results of diode laser treatment of active
phase of retinopathy in prematurity.
Material and methods: We studied 240 premature
infants since January 2003 to October 2004. In 60
premature infants (102 eyes – 25%) ROP was found. 26
premature infants (52 eyes – 43.3%) with threshold ROP (stage
3a) in II zone (12 eyes) and in II and III zone (40 eyes)
were treated with an aid of diode laser. Birth weight
varied from 650 to 990g (mean 799.23g) and gestational
age from 23 to 28 weeks (mean Hbd 26.2).
Results: Good anatomical results were obtained in
25 cases (50 eyes – 96.15%), in 1 case (2 eyes – 3.85%)
was total retinal detachment. In this case the progress
of retinopathy was caused by small birth weight and
other chronic disorders.
Conclusions: Diode laser treatment of active
phase of retinopathy in prematurity gives good
anatomical results. The results of treatment depend on
the other chronic diseases of premature infants. |
