Retina Surgery in Cancun
What is retinal surgery like?
Depending on the patient's case, one of these types of surgeries may be necessary: Pneumatic Retinopexy, Conventional Retinal Surgery, or Vitrectomy.
Risks of retinal surgery may include:
- Bleeding
- Detachment that is not completely fixed (may require additional surgeries)
- Increased eye pressure (elevated intraocular pressure)
- Infection
- You may not fully recover your vision.
General anesthesia may be required for retinal surgery. The risks of any anesthetic are:
- Reactions to medications
- Respiratory problems
Seeing the world clearly is not just a privilege, it is a new way of living.
Retinal surgeries
Vitrectomy
Eye surgery in which the vitreous humor is removed to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, or epiretinal membranes.Panretinal photocoagulation
Laser treatment that destroys areas of the damaged retina to reduce abnormal blood vessel growth, commonly used in diabetic retinopathy.Application of Antiangiogenics (Bevacizumab, Ranibizumab, Aflibercept, Faricimab-svoa)
Intraocular injections that block abnormal blood vessel growth and reduce edema in diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.Gas and Silicone (Cost per cc if necessary)
Substances used in retinal surgeries, such as retinal detachment, to help keep the retina in position while it heals.Ultrasound Mode A and B
Imaging tests that allow the evaluation of the internal structure of the eye, especially when the fundus cannot be visualized due to opacities.Ultrabiomicroscopy
High-resolution ultrasound technique that allows for detailed evaluation of the anterior segment of the eye, useful for diagnosing pathologies of the iris, ciliary body, and anterior chamber.Retinopexy
Procedure to repair retinal detachment by applying intraocular gas or cryotherapy to seal retinal tears and reestablish retinal adhesion.
