Vitrectomy Surgery In Coimbatore​

Vitrectomy surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that removes vitreous material (pane of glass) from the eye. This surgery is used to diagnose and treat certain eye diseases, including macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. The vitreous can also become inflamed or swollen due to an infection or other medical condition and may need to be removed in order to restore clear vision.

Vitrectomy surgery is a very safe procedure, with a low rate of complications. Most patients experience minimal discomfort following surgery and can return to work within a few days. If you are considering vitrectomy surgery in Coimbatore for your eyes, please consult with your doctor to see if this procedure is right for you.

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, and it is usually performed using a small incision in the lower eyelid. 

TSV is a less invasive procedure that uses dissolving stitches to close the tear in the retina. 

The epiretinal approach, which is used for some high-risk cases, involves drilling through the eyeball and then making an incision into the subretinal space.
