Is femtosecond surgery risky in Nanjing Dongda Hospital?
As a widely used corneal refractive surgery technique in recent years, femtosecond surgery has also been popularized and applied in Nanjing Dongda Hospital. With the increasing demand for vision correction surgery, femtosecond surgery has become a fast and safe choice. However, for many people, they still have some doubts about whether femtosecond surgery is risky. This article will discuss the risk of femtosecond surgery from four aspects.
1. Operation risk
Femtosecond surgery is a kind of laser surgery to cut corneal tissue to improve refractive error. Although this technology is advanced, there are still some operational risks. First of all, the operation needs to be performed in the eyes, which is a psychological and physical challenge for patients. Secondly, during the operation, doctors need to accurately control the energy, time and angle of the laser to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation. Incorrect operation may lead to postoperative complications such as blurred vision and corneal infection.
However, the doctors who perform femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Dongda Hospital are all experienced and professional ophthalmologists, who will understand the patient's situation in detail before surgery, and make surgery risk assessment and preoperative preparation for patients. In addition, the hospital is equipped with advanced surgical equipment and facilities to ensure the accuracy and safety of surgical operations.
2. Postoperative infection risk
Like any surgery, femtosecond surgery also has the risk of postoperative infection. Any tiny bacteria or virus introduced during surgery may cause infection. Postoperative infection may lead to keratitis, corneal erosion and other serious complications, and affect postoperative visual recovery.
However, when performing femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Dongda Hospital, doctors will strictly follow aseptic operating procedures to ensure the cleanness of the operating environment and the safety of patients. In addition, the hospital has a professional infection control department that strictly cleans, disinfects and sterilizes the operating room and instruments to reduce the risk of infection.
3. Risk of corneal problems after surgery
Some patients may have corneal problems after femtosecond surgery, such as corneal edema, corneal scar, etc. These problems may affect the postoperative vision recovery and visual quality of patients.
However, in Nanjing Dongda Hospital, doctors will conduct a detailed eye examination and evaluation of each patient before surgery to determine whether the patient is suitable for femtosecond surgery. For those patients with weak corneal tissue or potential problems, doctors will give corresponding suggestions and treatment plans to reduce the risk of postoperative corneal problems.
4. Risk of postoperative vision problems
The most important risk is postoperative vision problems. Although femtosecond surgery is widely considered as a safe and effective postoperative vision correction surgery, there are still a few patients who may not achieve the expected vision after surgery.
Nanjing Dongda Hospital will conduct a detailed preoperative examination and evaluation before the femtosecond surgery to help doctors understand the patient's eye conditions and the expected effect after the surgery. The doctor will make a suitable operation plan according to the patient's condition, and conduct regular follow-up after the operation to ensure that the vision recovers well after the operation. For a few patients whose postoperative vision does not meet expectations, doctors will give further treatment or repair as needed to improve their vision.
Summary
In conclusion, femtosecond surgery is a safe choice for corneal refractive surgery in Nanjing Dongda Hospital. Although there are certain risks in surgery, such as surgical operation risk, postoperative infection risk, postoperative corneal problem risk and postoperative vision problem risk, the hospital has minimized these risks through strict surgical operation process, advanced equipment and facilities, and professional ophthalmologist team. Therefore, patients can safely choose Nanjing Dongda Hospital for femtosecond surgery to restore their vision and improve their quality of life.
