What does the 25G Vitrectomy + Endolaser + Gas Tamponade procedure involve?
This is a minimally invasive surgery to repair a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Using 25-gauge instruments, the surgeon makes tiny incisions to remove the vitreous gel (vitrectomy), then applies endolaser to seal retinal tears. Finally, a gas bubble is injected into the eye to hold the retina in place while it heals. The gas gradually absorbs over weeks, and patients must maintain a specific head position postoperatively.
