Retinal detachment surgery is also known as retinal detachment surgery, which is usually done using general anesthesia.
Because retinal detachment surgery is more complicated and longer, general anesthesia is usually used to prevent the patient from moving around during the surgery, which may affect the surgical effect, and on the other hand, it can also relieve the patient’s pain, so that the surgery can be completed in a relaxed, comfortable and less painful state.
Retinal detachment surgery can be categorized into external surgery and internal surgery, and external surgery mainly includes scleral buckling surgery. Scleral buckling is usually performed to locate the fissure and then to reset the retina by forming a buckle in the sclera area through condensation or photocoagulation, so that the retinal neuroepithelium and pigment epithelium can be attached together.
Patients with retinal detachment may also undergo internal surgery, such as vitrectomy, to reset the retina and improve vision.
Patients with retinal detachment are advised to seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow their doctor’s instructions.
