Specialists in Vitreoretinal Surgery

Vitreoretinal surgery represents one of the most sophisticated procedures in modern ophthalmology, involving manipulation of the eye's most delicate internal structures - the vitreous and retina. This high-precision microsurgical intervention uses extremely fine instruments and cutting-edge technology to treat complex conditions affecting the back of the eye. The procedure is performed through small incisions in the sclera (white part of the eye), allowing access to the interior of the eyeball with minimal trauma. With success rates that can exceed 90% in selected cases, this surgery has revolutionized the treatment of various pathologies that previously had no effective solution, such as complex retinal detachments, epiretinal membranes, macular holes, and advanced diabetic complications.

Decision Process

Surgical indication is based on thorough evaluation through advanced imaging tests and careful consideration of potential benefits versus risks. Each case requires a personalized approach and precise timing for intervention.

Preparation for the Procedure

Pre-operative exams include complete retinal evaluation with OCT, angiography, and ocular ultrasound when necessary. Proper preparation and stabilization of systemic conditions are fundamental.

The Procedure

Surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on case complexity and patient conditions. The procedure can last 1 to 3 hours, using surgical microscope and specialized instrumentation.

Recovery Period

Initial recovery requires specific head positioning and important activity restrictions. Post-operative follow-up is intensive in the first weeks.

Choosing the Specialist

Surgeon selection is crucial, considering their specific experience in vitreoretinal surgeries and access to appropriate technology.
