Retinal detachment repair is a surgical procedure to place a retina back into its normal position. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. Detachment means that it has pulled away from the layers of tissue around it.
Retina surgery signs include:
Retina surgery risk factor includes:-
A retinal surgery or a detached retina will treat with a surgical procedure based on patient condition. Before surgery, the eye surgeon and anesthesia doctors will guide you about the benefits and risk factors of treatment.
These are a line of treatment for Retina surgery:-
Torn retina surgery: Most retinal tears need to be treated by sealing the retina to the back wall of the eye with laser surgery or cryotherapy (a freezing treatment). Both of these procedures create a scar that helps seal the retina to the back of the eye.
Laser surgery (photocoagulation): With laser surgery, the ophthalmologist uses a laser to make small burns around the retinal tear. The scarring that results in seals the retina to the underlying tissue, helping to prevent a retinal detachment.
Freezing (cryopexy): The eye surgeon uses a special freezing probe to apply intense cold and freeze the retina around the retinal tear. The result is a scar that helps secure the retina to the eyewall.
Detached retina surgery: This treatment involves placing a flexible band (scleral buckle) around the eye to counteract the force pulling the retina out of place. The ophthalmologist often drains the fluid under the detached retina, allowing the retina to settle back into its normal position against the back wall of the eye. This procedure is performed in an operating room.
The success rate depends on the patient, surgeon experience but it is safe surgery with less risk and the success rate is more than 80 to 90 %.
