Vitrectomy Surgery
Vitrectomy surgery is a medical procedure used to treat a variety of eye conditions. The surgery involves removing the vitreous, a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina, from the eye. This allows the surgeon to access and treat the retina directly.
Vitrectomy surgery can be used to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, macular hole, and diabetic retinopathy. The surgery is also sometimes used in conjunction with cataract surgery.
The recovery process after vitrectomy surgery can vary depending on the individual but typically takes several weeks. During this time, it is important to avoid activities that could jar or jolt the eye, such as contact sports or driving.
Why is Vitrectomy Surgery done?
What are the risks of vitrectomy?
There are several risks associated with vitrectomy, including:
- Bleeding: There is a risk of bleeding during vitrectomy, which can lead to vision loss.
- Infection: There is a risk of infection after vitrectomy, which can lead to vision loss.
- Retinal detachment: There is a risk of retinal detachment after vitrectomy, which can lead to vision loss.
- Macular pucker: There is a risk of macular pucker after vitrectomy, which can lead to vision loss.
Types of Vitrectomy
There are three types of vitrectomy:
- Pars plana vitrectomy: This type of vitrectomy is performed through a small incision in the white part of the eye (the sclera). A surgical microscope is used to visualize the inside of the eye. The surgeon removes the diseased tissue and replaces it with a clear fluid called saline.
- Sutureless vitrectomy: This type of vitrectomy is also performed through a small incision in the sclera. A special instrument called a vitrector is used to remove the diseased tissue. No sutures are required because the incision is so small.
- Endoscopic vitrectomy: This type of vitrectomy is performed through tiny incisions in the sclera. An endoscope (a long, thin tube with a light and camera at the end) is used to visualize the inside of the eye. The surgeon removes the diseased tissue and replaces it with saline.
