Argon laser photocoagulation was applied 2-3 weeks after implantation of episcleral silicone sponges as a second-step operation in 130 cases of retinal detachment. The chorioretinal scar for the occlusion of the tears was obtained exclusively with this procedure. Argon Laser used in cases with pronounced retinal elevation, i.e. where cryoapplication had proved inadequate or where a choroidal or retinal hemorrhage could be expected following cryoapplication. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique are evaluated with respect to the experience with cryoapplication.
在130例视网膜脱离患者中，巩膜硅胶海绵植入2 - 3周后进行氩激光光凝作为第二步手术。仅通过该手术获得了用于封闭裂孔的脉络膜视网膜瘢痕。氩激光用于视网膜显著隆起的病例，即冷冻治疗已证明不足或冷冻治疗后可能预期发生脉络膜或视网膜出血的病例。根据冷冻治疗的经验对该技术的优缺点进行了评估。
