Guangxi Ruikang Hospital: What is the difference between femtosecond surgery and traditional surgery?

In today's medical science and technology, traditional surgery has gradually been replaced by advanced minimally invasive surgery. Guangxi Ruikang Hospital, as a modern comprehensive medical institution, provides more accurate and efficient ophthalmic surgery services by introducing femtosecond surgery technology. So, what are the differences between femtosecond surgery and traditional surgery?

1. Operation principle

Traditional surgery is performed by manually operating surgical instruments, including cutting and repairing. Femtosecond surgery, on the other hand, uses laser technology and high-frequency pulsed laser to complete complicated eye surgery in seconds. This technology can achieve high-precision cutting and reduce the damage to the patient's eye tissue during surgery.

In addition, the traditional operation needs to be carried out under anesthesia, which creates certain pressure on the patient's body. The femtosecond surgery can be completed under local anesthesia due to its precise operation, which reduces the pain of patients and the risk of surgery.

2. Operation effect

Femtosecond surgery is more accurate and predictable than traditional surgery. This technology can cut and repair at a very fine level, making the operation safer and more reliable.

In addition, because the femtosecond operation is more delicate, the damage to the eye tissue during the operation is reduced, and the recovery speed after the operation is faster. Patients can usually return to normal life within a few days, while traditional surgery requires a longer recovery time.

In addition, femtosecond surgery can also meet the needs of each patient individually by adjusting laser parameters and surgical mode. Patients can choose their own surgical method according to their own eye conditions and surgical expectations.

3. Operation safety

Femtosecond surgery has higher safety during operation. Traditional surgery requires manual corneal ablation, which has errors and potential risks. Femtosecond surgery uses laser cutting to ensure the accuracy and safety of surgery.

In addition, femtosecond surgery has the characteristics of automation, and the operation process can be realized through computer control, avoiding the influence of human factors. In this way, the stability of the operation is higher, and the surgical risk of patients is correspondingly reduced.

4. Operation expenses

Traditional surgery requires higher surgical instruments and costs, while femtosecond surgery reduces the cost of surgery to a certain extent. Although the investment of femtosecond laser equipment is large, it can reduce the cost of surgical consumables and equipment in long-term operation.

In addition, due to the rapid recovery after femtosecond surgery, the hospital stay and drug costs of patients are relatively small, further reducing the economic burden of patients.

epilogue

To sum up, the application of femtosecond surgery technology introduced by Guangxi Ruikang Hospital in ophthalmology has gradually replaced traditional surgery with its characteristics of high precision, low damage, safety and reliability. Not only that, femtosecond surgery also has obvious advantages in terms of surgical effect and cost, providing better treatment experience for patients.
