ECP emerging as viable option for difficult pediatric glaucoma cases.
- Authors
Misiano, John
- Abstract
The article focuses on endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) for pediatric glaucoma cases. ECP enables the surgeon to visualize the ciliary body in real time, which is manufactured by Endo Optiks. It is indicated that ECP is less damaging to surrounding tissue than the most commonly used method for cyclodestruction, cyclocryotherapy. It is also reported that long-term data have shown safety of the procedure, ranging from 43% to 50% success rate.
