Orbital decompression surgery in Guangzhou Eye Hospital
Orbital decompression surgery is a common ophthalmic surgery. Guangzhou Eye Hospital is a hospital specializing in orbital decompression surgery. Orbital decompression surgery can help patients to treat diseases with high intraocular pressure, alleviate eye pain and visual impairment. The following will elaborate on orbital decompression surgery in terms of preoperative preparation, surgical procedures, postoperative nursing and surgical effects.
Preoperative preparation
Before orbital decompression surgery, the doctor will carry out a detailed eye examination of the patient to determine the indication and method of surgery. Patients need to provide personal medical history and ophthalmic medical history, including previous diseases, surgery and drug use. The doctor will also perform intraocular pressure measurement, vision examination and fundus examination to assess the severity of intraocular pressure and the patient's vision.
Preoperative preparation also includes checking the patient's blood coagulation function to eliminate the risk of postoperative bleeding. In addition, patients need to follow the doctor's guidance to discontinue certain drugs, such as anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, to reduce the risk of surgical bleeding. Patients should also maintain good diet and rest, and avoid drinking, smoking and other habits that are detrimental to postoperative recovery.
Procedure
Orbital decompression surgery usually uses local anesthesia, and the patient stays awake during the operation. The operation can be performed through open surgery or endoscopic surgery, and the specific choice depends on the patient's situation and the doctor's recommendation.
For open surgery, the doctor will make an incision in the eye to expose the orbital bone. Then, special instruments are used for bone removal to reduce the pressure on the orbit. After the operation, the doctor will suture the incision and conduct appropriate hemostasis.
For transnasal endoscopic surgery, doctors will enter the orbit through the nasal cavity and use endoscope and special tools for decompression surgery. This kind of operation has the advantages of small trauma, quick recovery and less postoperative pain.
Postoperative care
After surgery, patients need to pay attention to the rest and care of the eyes. The doctor will give the patient eye bandage and cold compress to reduce postoperative discomfort and swelling. Patients need to follow the doctor's advice, return to the clinic regularly and take medicine on time. Severe exercise and overexertion should be avoided for a period of time after surgery to avoid eye injuries.
During postoperative recovery, patients should maintain good sleep and eating habits, and avoid staying up late and eating spicy and stimulating food. If abnormal symptoms such as vision deterioration and eye pain aggravation occur after surgery, seek medical advice in time.
Surgical effect
Orbital decompression can effectively treat visual impairment and ocular pain caused by high intraocular pressure. After the operation, the patient's intraocular pressure was regulated, and the vision and eyeball symptoms gradually improved. At the same time, surgery can also help prevent eye damage and further visual impairment.
In a word, Guangzhou Eye Hospital is an experienced and professional eye hospital, which can provide safe and effective orbital decompression surgery services for patients. Before the operation, the patient should make comprehensive preoperative preparation and carry out postoperative care in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions. The operation effect is good, and it has significant effect on improving the patient's vision and eyeball symptoms.
