No Gap Billing Cataract Surgery

Vitrectomy

Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the vitreous humor, a gel-like substance that fills the eye cavity, to access and treat various retinal conditions. Dr. Rahul Dubey, a premium and experienced surgeon, offers personalized vitrectomy options tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Pars Plana Vitrectomy

This is performed to treat conditions affecting the back of the eye, the macula and the vitreous cavity. Dr. Dubey uses advanced techniques to access the posterior segment through small incisions in the sclera. The vast majority of cases are conducted using 25G or 27G instruments, with a 20,000 cpm rate, minimising trauma, traction and allowing fast healing and recovery.

Advanced Techniques and Safety

  • Laser Technology: Dr. Dubey employs state-of-the-art laser probes during surgery for precise treatment of retinal issues. These allow minimal scarring and rapid recovery of vision. Laser treatment aims to prevent retinal detachment, simultaneously treat diabetic retinopathy complications, and maximise safety. In select high risk patients Dr Dubey undertakes 360 laser retinopexy under careful and controlled conditions.
  • No Face Down Posturing: In 99% of cases, Dr. Dubey’s expertise allows for recovery without the need for uncomfortable face-down positioning.
  • Safety Measures: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with careful monitoring of vital signs to ensure patient safety.

Personalised Approach

Dr. Rahul Dubey takes a measured, customized approach to each case:

  • Complex Cases: Expertise in handling challenging scenarios, including trauma-related eye disorders, dislocated and subluxed intraocular lenses.
  • Premium Options: Access to cutting-edge surgical techniques and equipment.
  • Measured Discussion: Thorough consultation to explain all available options and expected outcomes.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the surgery. Dr. Dubey provides detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitors the healing process to ensure optimal results.

Patients having vitrectomy surgery should not fly following the procedure for at least 2 weeks. If travel is necessary the latest silicone oils can be used as tamponade to allow travel.
