Retinal Detachment Repair
A retinal detachment is a sight-threatening medical emergency where the neurosensory retina separates from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Surgical management involves identifying all causative retinal breaks, draining subretinal fluid, applying endolaser photocoagulation or cryopexy, and placing a temporary gas or silicone oil bubble to press the retina back into its anatomical position. Early surgical repair is vital to prevent irreversible central vision loss.
