Cyclocryopexy
Cyclocryopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat certain eye conditions, particularly those involving retinal detachment or advanced glaucoma, by applying cryotherapy (extreme cold) to the ciliary body. The ciliary body produces the aqueous humor, and in some cases, excessive production of this fluid or other issues related to the ciliary body can contribute to intraocular pressure (IOP) problems or retinal detachment. Cyclocryopexy aims to treat these issues by freezing specific parts of the ciliary body, causing it to stop producing fluid or aiding in retinal reattachment.
At Desai Eye Institute, the procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, though general anaesthesia may be used in more complex cases. A special cryoprobe is used to apply extreme cold to the eye’s ciliary body, usually near the retinal area that has detached. This procedure helps stabilize the retina, reduce IOP, and prevent further retinal damage.
Medical Equipment Needed for Cyclocryopexy:
- Cryoprobe (for applying controlled cold to the ciliary body)
- Surgical Microscope (for magnification and precision during the procedure)
- Surgical Scissors and Forceps (for fine tissue manipulation)
- Sterile Gloves (for maintaining hygiene during the procedure)
- Topical Anesthetic Drops or General Anesthesia (for patient comfort during surgery)
- Sterile Drapes (to maintain a sterile surgical field)
- Ocular Speculum (to hold the eyelids open during surgery)
- Disinfectants (to sterilize the surgical area and instruments)
- Sterile Sutures (if any tissue needs to be closed post-procedure)
- Post-Operative Eye Shield (to protect the eye during recovery)
