Using an experimental fiberoptically guided CO 2 laser system, we produced lesions on fresh bovine retinas. These lesions were shown to achieve immediate measurable chorioretinal adhesion. This model provides preliminary data on the use of a fiberoptic CO 2 laser probe to produce chorioretinal lesions and possible future use in intraocular surgery for retinal detachment. The advantages of using CO 2 laser energy are minimal damage surrounding desired lesion and its versatility as a coagulator and cutter. With modifications, CO 2 endolaser may have a role in intraocular surgery. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
