Recent studies have suggested that laser photocoagulation may be a favorable alternative to cryotherapy in the treatment of progressive extraretinal neovascularization in retinopathy of prematurity. Preliminary results of 10 eyes from 5 patients with so called "threshold" retinopathy of prematurity treated with indirect diode laser are reported. All 5 patients were less than 30 weeks gestational age. Laser therapy was performed on the avascular retina in both eyes. Nine eyes had one session of treatment with regression of neovascularization within 6 weeks. All eyes had good anatomical results in the posterior pole at the end of follow-up. One eye had 2 treatment sessions; neovascularization regressed after the second treatment. Mild disc dragging was noted. This report recommends the use of diode laser photocoagulation in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity.
近期研究表明，在治疗早产儿视网膜病变的进行性视网膜外新生血管时，激光光凝术可能是冷冻疗法的一个更好选择。本文报告了5例所谓“阈值”早产儿视网膜病变患者的10只眼睛接受间接二极管激光治疗的初步结果。所有5例患者的胎龄均小于30周。对双眼的无血管视网膜进行激光治疗。9只眼睛接受了一次治疗，新生血管在6周内消退。随访结束时，所有眼睛后极部的解剖结构均良好。一只眼睛接受了2次治疗；第二次治疗后新生血管消退。观察到轻度视盘牵拉。本报告推荐使用二极管激光光凝术治疗早产儿视网膜病变。
