About High Speed Vitreo Retinal Surgery

High Speed Vitreo Retinal Surgery is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive ophthalmic procedure performed by a specialized Ophthalmologist to treat complex disorders of the retina and vitreous gel inside the eye. Utilizing advanced, high-speed cutting instruments (typically 5,000-10,000 cuts per minute) and fiber-optic illumination, the surgeon delicately removes the vitreous gel (vitrectomy) and addresses retinal issues through microscopic incisions. This technology allows for greater precision, reduced surgical time, and minimal trauma to the eye. It is primarily used to treat conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and epiretinal membranes, aiming to restore or preserve vision by repairing the delicate light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive technique with smaller incisions for faster healing.High-speed cutting reduces surgical time and intraocular tissue traction.Enhanced precision and control for the surgeon, improving outcomes.Often performed under local anesthesia, minimizing systemic risks.Effective treatment for complex retinal conditions that threaten vision.Can be combined with other procedures like laser photocoagulation or gas/oil injection./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Rhegmatogenous, tractional, or exudative retinal detachment.
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy with vitreous hemorrhage or tractional detachment.
Macular hole or pucker (epiretinal membrane).
Complications of previous eye surgery, such as dropped lens fragments.
Severe eye injuries (trauma) involving the retina or vitreous.
Certain intraocular infections (endophthalmitis).
Removal of vitreous opacities or hemorrhages that obscure vision.

How to prepare

Comprehensive pre-operative eye examination including OCT scan and ultrasound.
Review of medical history and current medications; may need to adjust blood thinners.
Fasting for several hours before surgery if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
Use of prescribed antibiotic eye drops prior to surgery to reduce infection risk.
Arranging for transportation home post-surgery as driving is not permitted.
Discussion of anesthesia options (typically local with sedation) and surgical plan.

Risks & possible complications

Infection (endophthalmitis) or increased intraocular pressure.
Cataract formation or acceleration, often requiring later surgery.
Retinal detachment recurrence or new tear formation.
Vitreous hemorrhage (bleeding inside the eye).
Corneal edema or other corneal issues.
Choroidal detachment or hypotony (very low eye pressure).
Rare risks include sympathetic ophthalmia or loss of vision.

Recovery & hospital stay

An eye patch or shield is typically worn for the first day or night.
Strict use of prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops for several weeks.
Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for 2-4 weeks.
May need to maintain a specific head position for several days if a gas bubble was injected.
Protect the eye from water, dust, and potential impact; avoid swimming.
Attend all scheduled follow-up visits for monitoring pressure and healing.
Vision may be blurry initially; gradual improvement occurs over weeks to months.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often outpatient or short stay)
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for initial stabilization; 3-6 months for final visual outcome

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
