Difference between femtosecond surgery and traditional surgery in Wuhan Lu General Hospital

In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical technology, ophthalmic surgery is also constantly innovating. As one of the famous medical institutions in Wuhan, Lu General Hospital has introduced advanced femtosecond laser surgery technology. Compared with traditional surgery, femtosecond surgery has obvious advantages in many aspects.

Treatment accuracy

Femtosecond laser surgery uses advanced excimer lasers. With the operation of experienced doctors, it can improve the treatment accuracy of corneal diseases to a new level. Although traditional surgery can also treat some common eye problems, its treatment process mainly relies on tools such as scalpel, which inevitably has errors and may cause additional damage to eye tissues. Femtosecond surgery can deal with diseases more accurately and protect patients' vision to the greatest extent by accurately cutting corneal tissue with laser.

In addition, femtosecond surgery can not only cut the cornea more accurately, but also make personalized adjustments. Through three-dimensional scanning of the curvature and position of the cornea, doctors can carry out personalized treatment according to the specific conditions of patients to further improve the surgical effect.

Operation safety

Compared with traditional surgery, femtosecond surgery can better ensure the surgical safety of patients. First of all, because femtosecond surgery only uses laser and does not touch eye tissue, it does not need to cut cornea and use tools such as scalpel, which reduces the risk of eye infection and surgical trauma during surgery.

Secondly, femtosecond surgery has a faster recovery speed. Traditional surgery requires a longer recovery period, because the cornea will be greatly damaged during the surgery, which requires time to heal. The femtosecond surgery, through precise laser cutting, has retained the integrity of corneal tissue to the greatest extent, and patients can recover in a relatively short time, reducing the risk of postoperative discomfort and complications.

Operation time

Traditional surgery often requires a long operation time, mainly because it requires the surgeon to cut the cornea manually and constantly clean the surgical area. Femtosecond surgery can automatically cut through the laser system, greatly reducing the operation time. This not only reduces the workload of doctors, but also makes the operation process of patients more rapid and smooth.

Summary

To sum up, the femtosecond surgery introduced by Lu General Hospital has obvious advantages over traditional surgery. Femtosecond surgery can bring better experience and effect to patients in terms of treatment accuracy, operation safety and operation time. With the continuous progress of science and technology, it is believed that femtosecond surgery will become more and more popular, bringing good news to the treatment of more eye diseases.
