Does full femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital have the risk of complications?
Full femtosecond surgery is a kind of laser vision correction surgery, which can help myopic patients get rid of the shackles of glasses and contact lenses. Nanjing Gulou Hospital, as a professional ophthalmic hospital, provides full femtosecond surgery services. However, patients will worry about whether there is a risk of complications during the surgery. Next, we will elaborate on the surgical technique, postoperative pain, infection risk and dry eye, and comprehensively evaluate the safety of full femtosecond surgery.
1、 Surgical techniques
All femtosecond surgery uses the latest laser technology and is operated by professional ophthalmologists. This surgical process is accurately calculated and simulated to ensure the accuracy and stability of the surgical incision. Therefore, the opportunity of surgery reduces the risk of surgery and the damage to cornea is greatly reduced. In addition, Nanjing Gulou Hospital has a team of experienced ophthalmologists who have rich clinical experience in full femtosecond surgery and can skillfully operate and respond to unexpected situations.
During the operation, the doctor will conduct a detailed eye examination in advance to determine whether the patient is suitable for full femtosecond surgery. If the patient is not suitable, the doctor will recommend other ophthalmic surgery to achieve the effect of vision correction. Therefore, technically, full femtosecond surgery has a lower risk of complications.
2、 Postoperative pain
Postoperative pain is a common complication of all femtosecond surgery. Generally speaking, patients may feel slight pain and foreign body sensation on the first day after surgery. However, the professional team of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital will provide effective pain medication and nursing advice to help patients relieve pain. Most patients will feel comfortable within a few hours, and the pain will gradually reduce.
Patients need to follow the doctor's nursing guidance after surgery, use eyedrops regularly, and avoid rubbing eyes and other behaviors to reduce the risk of pain and other complications. Although postoperative pain is possible, under the guidance of the professional team of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the pain can be controlled at a lower level.
3、 Risk of infection
Any surgical procedure has the risk of infection, and full femtosecond surgery is no exception. However, as a regular hospital, Nanjing Gulou Hospital strictly abides by infection control measures and takes a series of preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection.
Before surgery, the doctor will make necessary preparations for the patient, including cleaning and disinfection of the eye area. During the operation, the instruments and equipment used are strictly disinfected and sterilized. In addition, the hospital will require patients to wear surgical caps and masks to ensure a clean operating environment.
Although the risk of infection cannot be completely eliminated, under the strict control of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the risk of infection of full femtosecond surgery is relatively low.
4、 Xerophthalmia
Dry eye is one of the common complications of all femtosecond surgery, especially in the first to three months after surgery. Surgery may cause temporary damage to the surface tissue of the eye, thus reducing tear secretion. However, this kind of dry eye disease will generally relieve itself after the recovery period, and will not have a significant impact on daily life.
Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital will evaluate the tear secretion of patients before surgery and give reasonable postoperative nursing suggestions according to the evaluation results. In addition, the hospital also provides a variety of treatments for dry eye, such as artificial tears and hot compress, to help patients alleviate the discomfort of dry eye.
summary
To sum up, the full femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital is technologically advanced and experienced, thus reducing the risk of surgical complications. Postoperative pain, infection and dry eye are possible complications. However, under the guidance of professional doctors, these complications can be effectively controlled and managed. Therefore, the patients can believe that the full femtosecond operation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital is safe, but they still need to carry out a detailed examination before the operation and follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance.
