What is retinal detachment surgery
Retinal detachment is an ophthalmic emergency that requires surgery. The retina is the tissue in the eye responsible for converting light into neural signals. If the retina is detached from the inner wall of the eye, it will lead to serious vision problems and even blindness. Retinal detachment surgery is a kind of surgery aimed at reattaching the detached retina to the eyeball wall and restoring normal vision.
In Chengdu, the Eye Hospital of West China Hospital is a hospital specializing in retinal detachment surgery, with an experienced expert team and advanced surgical equipment. However, retinal detachment surgery is not without risks. Next, we will discuss these risks from several aspects.
Postoperative infection of surgical risk
Retinal detachment surgery is a traumatic surgery, which needs to be performed on the surface of the eyeball, so there is a risk of postoperative infection. Postoperative infection may lead to local inflammation, redness, swelling, pain, increased secretion, etc., and may require additional antibiotic treatment.
In order to reduce the risk of postoperative infection, the ophthalmic hospital of West China Hospital strictly abides by aseptic operation, ensures the cleanness of surgical instruments, and gives patients appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis after surgery. At the same time, patients are required to pay attention to postoperative eye hygiene and avoid contact with infection sources.
Operation risk: poor vision recovery
Although retinal detachment surgery aims to restore normal vision, not every patient can achieve ideal results. After surgery, some patients may only be able to restore part of their vision, but not fully restore to the level before surgery.
This may be caused by many factors, such as the degree of retinal damage, surgical techniques, the patient's own eye health, and so on. Therefore, before surgery, the doctor will fully evaluate the patient's situation, provide clear expectations to the patient, and avoid high expectations leading to postoperative disappointment.
Surgical complications of surgical risk
Some complications may occur during retinal detachment surgery. For example, eyeball perforation, hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, and excessive retinal detachment may occur during surgery. These complications may affect the effect of surgery, or even require additional treatment.
In the Eye Hospital of West China Hospital, doctors have rich experience in surgery and can skillfully cope with various surgical complications. During the operation, the doctor will closely observe the patient's eye conditions and take timely measures to prevent complications.
Summary
Retinal detachment surgery is a risky surgery. When performing such surgery in the Eye Hospital of Chengdu West China Hospital, patients should understand these risks and fully communicate with doctors. Postoperative care and follow-up are also very important. Patients must carry out eye care according to the doctor's recommendations, and return regularly to learn about postoperative recovery at any time.
Finally, it is very important to choose a professional ophthalmic hospital for retinal detachment surgery. Only with experienced doctors and advanced equipment can the surgery be carried out to minimize the risk of surgery and improve the success rate of surgery.
