A new endolaser probe with aspiration capability can be used as a flute
needle for drainage of subretinal fluid and for endolaser treatment of a
retinotomy site after vitrectomy. This instrument allows removal of
vitreous and subretinal fluid during air-fluid exchange and immediate
endolaser photocoagulation without exchange of instruments.
