Laser Photocoagulation Systems for Diabetic Retinopathy and Other Retinal Disorders The treatment of diabetic retinopathy has evolved dramatically over the past century. Before the advent of photocoagulation, surgeons had limited options available to treat retinal complications from diabetes. One approach that surgeons used on patients with proliferative retinopathy was to ablate their pituitary gland. This surgery was developed after Houssay et al. noted in 1930 that hypophysectomy reduced the severity of diabetes in pancreatectomized dogs. In the 1950s, pituitary ablation was attempted on humans using x-ray irradiation, surgical hypophysectomy, and yttrium-90 implantation. Patients treated in this manner demonstrated improvement in their diabetic retinopathy, but severe complications such as postural hypotension, sterility and death prevented its widespread use. more… |
