Does femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Army General Hospital require hospitalization?
With the development of science and technology, ophthalmic surgery has made great progress. Femtosecond laser surgery is an advanced method to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. In Wuhan Army General Hospital, femtosecond laser surgery has attracted much attention. However, many people have doubts about whether this operation requires hospitalization. This article will elaborate on this from four aspects: intraoperative operation, postoperative nursing, patient recovery and hospitalization needs.
Intraoperative operation
Femtosecond laser surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, and the whole operation process only takes a few minutes. During surgery, doctors will first give patients appropriate anesthesia, and then use femtosecond lasers to reshape the cornea. Because the operation process is simple and rapid, patients do not need to be hospitalized. The patient can go home to rest on the day after the operation.
Anesthesia and femtosecond laser operation during surgery are painless, so most patients will feel relaxed and comfortable during surgery. At the same time, doctors will carry out detailed surgery planning and prediction to improve the success rate of surgery. Therefore, intraoperative procedures do not require hospitalization for patients.
Postoperative care
Although femtosecond laser surgery is minimally invasive surgery, postoperative care is still very important. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for eye hygiene and medication. Normally, patients need to go home and rest on the day of surgery, but they need to go to the hospital regularly after surgery to ensure a good recovery after surgery. These re visits usually only require the patient to go to the hospital for a simple examination, and do not require hospitalization.
The hospital will provide relevant post operation nursing instruction manual, and patients can carry out daily nursing according to the manual, and avoid some special circumstances, such as eye injury or infection. Through proper nursing and monitoring by doctors, the recovery of patients is generally smooth.
Patient recovery
Most patients can feel obvious vision improvement on the first day after femtosecond laser surgery, but it will take some time to fully recover. Within a few days after the operation, the patient needs to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and prolonged eye use. Follow the doctor's advice for eye hygiene, such as avoiding rubbing eyes, turning over to sleep, etc. Normally, patients can gradually return to normal life and work within a week.
The recovery period after surgery varies from person to person, but most patients' recovery is very smooth. During the recovery period, patients can continue to take eyedrops and protective glasses as required by the doctor to promote eye healing and protect the cornea after surgery. Generally, the patient's recovery is good and does not need to be hospitalized.
Inpatient needs
In general, femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Army General Hospital does not require hospitalization. Most patients can go home and rest on the day after the operation because of the little pain and fast recovery. Only in special cases, such as severe complications or continuous monitoring after surgery, patients need to be hospitalized. But this is very rare.
To sum up, femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Army General Hospital usually does not require patients to be hospitalized. The operation is simple, and the postoperative nursing and recovery period are also relatively smooth. For patients who want to perform femtosecond laser surgery, this is undoubtedly a convenient, safe and fast treatment option.
