Vitrectomy Surgery In Agra​

In Agra, vitrectomy surgery is a very common medical procedure that is used to remove a lesion or obstruction in the eye. This surgery is used to treat many different conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and central retinal vein occlusion.

Vitrectomy surgery is performed by a specially trained medical professional. The patient will usually be put under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the eye will be cleaned and prepared. The lesion or obstruction will then be located and removed through a small hole in the eye called a vitreous cut. After the lesion or obstruction is removed, the eye will be repaired using stitches or a patch.

Types of Vitrectomy

There are three main types of vitrectomy: pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV), and endoscopic subretinal or epiretinal approach. 

PPV is the most common type of vitrectomy and is performed through a small incision in the lower eyelid. 

TSV is performed through a small incision in the side of the eye, while the endoscopic subretinal or epiretinal approach is an external approach that uses an instrument to enter through the eye socket and into the sub retina. 

PPV and TSV are both considered safe procedures, but there is a slightly increased risk of cataracts following PPV. The main advantage of TSV is that it does not require an overnight stay in the hospital and can be done on an outpatient basis. 

Endoscopic subretinal or epiretinal approaches have several advantages over other methods, including greater precision and smaller incisions; however, they are also more expensive than other types of vitrectomy.

Vitrectomy Surgery Cost In Agra

The cost of vitrectomy surgery in Agra can vary depending on the type of surgery required. The cost of vitrectomy surgery in Agra varies between ₹20,000 to ₹80,000. Anterior Vitrectomy in front portion of the eye costs around 24000. Simple posterior vitrectomy involves suction / removal of the vitreous gel or blood from the back portion of the eye and costs around 55,000. However, in certain cases, Endolaser is used to burn the bleeding retinal blood vessels. This increase the cost to 50000. Similarly, if the retinal detachment is high, the surgeon might use silicone oil or gas tamponade to temporary fill in the eye and settle the retina. This further increase the cost to 60000. Below is the average cost of different type of vitrectomy procedures:
