Intraoperative photocoagulation using an endolaser delivery system is an important recent development in the field of vitreous microsurgery. Endolaser photocoagulation is indicated in a wide variety of vitreoretinal disorders and offers important advantages over previous techniques of endophotocoagulation using xenon energy. We review our experiences of argon laser endophotocoagulation to identify the role of this technique, the potential hazards and stringent precautions required for theatre personnel.
