What is the difference between femtosecond surgery and traditional surgery in Guangdong's top three hospitals?

Femtosecond laser surgery in ophthalmic surgery has attracted more and more attention in recent years, and is also gradually popularized in the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong. Compared with traditional surgery, femtosecond surgery has many significant differences. This article will elaborate from four aspects.

1. Operation process

In traditional surgery, doctors will use a hand-held scalpel to cut the cornea to complete the operation. In femtosecond surgery, doctors use lasers to precisely cut the cornea, making the surgery process more delicate. The laser can cut at nanosecond level without thermal damage to surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of surgery.

In addition, in femtosecond surgery, doctors can control the parameters of the laser through a computer, thus accurately controlling the depth and shape of the surgery. This accuracy makes the operation more stable and the postoperative effect more reliable.

In addition, in traditional surgery, the operation time is longer and requires a longer recovery period. Femtosecond surgery usually has a short operation time, a short recovery period, and less discomfort for patients after surgery.

2. Operation indications

Traditional surgery is suitable for the correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Femtosecond surgery is more suitable for correction of complex myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Because femtosecond surgery can cut the cornea more accurately, it is more effective for patients with high myopia or special conditions.

In addition, femtosecond surgery can also be used to treat corneal diseases, such as corneal scar, corneal deformation, etc. Through accurate corneal cutting, normal corneal morphology and function can be restored and vision can be improved.

3. Operation risk

In traditional surgery, the cutting process of scalpel is not accurate enough, which may cause damage to cornea and eyeball tissue. The risk of surgery is high, and postoperative complications such as decreased vision and dry eye may occur.

In femtosecond surgery, the precise positioning and control ability of the laser reduces the risk of surgery. Since the laser cutting process will not produce thermal damage, the eyeball tissue will heal more quickly after surgery, reducing the occurrence of complications.

However, femtosecond surgery also has some risks, such as infection risk during surgery and corneal peeling risk during laser cutting. Therefore, doctors will take comprehensive consideration according to the specific conditions of patients when selecting the operation mode.

4. Surgical effect

The recovery of vision after traditional surgery usually takes a period of time, and the postoperative vision is unstable. Femtosecond surgery, due to accurate laser cutting and corneal healing, has a fast postoperative visual recovery and stable effect.

In addition, due to the accuracy of femtosecond surgery, surgeons can cut the corneal morphology according to the actual needs of patients, so as to achieve more individualized correction. This individualized correction makes the surgical effect more accurate and satisfactory.

To sum up, the femtosecond surgery in Guangdong's top three hospitals is significantly different from the traditional surgery in terms of the surgical process, surgical indications, surgical risks and surgical effects. Femtosecond surgery improves the stability and effect of surgery and reduces the risk and complications of surgery through the accuracy and controllability of laser cutting technology. Therefore, patients can fully consider the femtosecond surgery of Guangdong Grade III Grade A Hospital when choosing the operation mode, so as to obtain better ophthalmic treatment effect.
