The detachment of the ciliary body and the choroid (ciliochoroidal detachment--CCD) is one of the most severe complications after mechanical trauma of the eye, and, according to published data, it is encountered in 1.9% of injured persons. The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy of treatment of posttraumatic CCD by applying the traditional methods and those elaborated by the authors and based on using the modern laser equipment. The results of treatment of 26 patients with dislocated detachment of the choroid and ciliary body were analyzed. The conservative treatment for dislocated CCD produces, as a rule, a temporary result because it does not eliminate the causes of detachment. The traditional surgery for dislocated CCD ensures the adhesion only in one half of patients and it is related with a high risk of postoperative complications. The transscleral diode-laser cycloplexia is a most promising and low-traumatic method for dislocated CCD to be used during the early period after trauma.
