🔷Panretinal photocoagulation🔷
🔶Diabetic retinopathy🔶
🟢 Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) is a mainstay of therapy for retinal ischemic disease.
🟢 The procedure involves creating thermal burns in the peripheral retina leading to tissue coagulation, the overall consequence of which is improved retinal oxygenation.
🟢 While highly effective, there have been concerns historically regarding the anatomic effects and visual complications following PRP, the most common of which include:
👉 choroidal effusions,
👉 exudative retinal detachments,
👉 macular edema,
👉 visual field deficits, and
👉 night vision defects.
🟢 The occurrence of these complications is closely tied to laser parameters such as:
👉 increased duration and
👉 power and
👉 intensive treatment in a single sitting,
all of which cause increased dispersion of thermal energy within the retina and choroid.
🟢 The advent of newer laser delivery systems, such as the multispot pattern laser, has greatly mitigated but not eliminated these issues.
