Retinal Surgeries

Retinal surgeries are specialized procedures used to treat a variety of conditions affecting the retina, such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, or retinal tears. These surgeries aim to repair or stabilize the retina and prevent further vision loss. At Desai Eye Institute, retinal surgeries are performed using advanced techniques and equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.

Depending on the condition, different surgical approaches are used, such as vitrectomy, retinal laser photocoagulation, scleral buckle surgery, and pneumatic retinopexy. These surgeries may involve removing the vitreous gel, reattaching the retina, or sealing retinal tears using laser therapy.

Medical Equipment Needed for Retinal Surgeries:

Vitrectomy Machine (for removing the vitreous gel in certain retinal surgeries)
Scleral Buckle (for retinal detachment repair by applying external pressure to the eye)
Retinal Laser (for laser photocoagulation to treat retinal tears or macular edema)
Gas or Silicone Oil (for tamponade to hold the retina in place after surgery)
Surgical Microscope (for magnification during delicate retinal procedures)

Pneumatic Retinopexy Equipment (for sealing retinal tears with a gas bubble)
Endoilluminator (for illuminating the vitreous cavity during surgery)
Surgical Forceps and Scissors (for precise manipulation of retinal tissue)
Sutures (for closing incisions after surgery)
Sterile Drapes (to maintain a sterile surgical field)
