Whether it is better to perform external or internal surgery for retinal detachment needs to be evaluated by the doctor based on the patient’s condition and cannot be generalized.
For small retinal detachments formed by a single small retinal tear, external surgery is more effective, less invasive and faster recovery.
For multiple retinal tears, or large retinal detachments formed by giant retinal tears, an internal surgical procedure is more effective in restoring the retina and closing the retinal tears.
Retinal detachment is usually treated with internal surgery, which can release the retinal pull during surgery, thus facilitating retinal reset.
Patients with retinal detachment should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in a timely manner and be examined by a doctor to determine the patient’s condition and formulate a treatment plan.
