Dr. Vasu Kumar’s Expertise in Minimally Invasive Retinal Surgery
Retinal diseases require specialized assessment and highly precise surgical intervention. Minimally invasive retinal surgery has become the standard approach for improving safety and recovery timelines.
Dr. Vasu Kumar is recognized for expertise in microsurgical retina treatment using small-gauge vitrectomy systems and advanced visualization platforms.
What Is Minimally Invasive Retinal Surgery?
Retinal surgery typically requires accessing the delicate tissue layers located at the back of the eye. Minimally invasive retinal surgery uses 23–27 gauge instruments that create microincision openings rather than larger entry points.
This approach reduces stress on ocular structures and promotes faster healing.
Conditions Suitable for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Kumar performs minimally invasive techniques for:
- retinal detachment
- vitreous hemorrhage
- macular holes
- diabetic retinopathy complications
- retained vitreous opacities
- epiretinal membrane removal
The decision depends on clinical evaluation and imaging findings.
Key Advantages for Patients
Benefits of minimally invasive retinal surgery include:
- smaller incisions
- reduced risk of infection
- less postoperative irritation
- enhanced precision
- faster healing time
- reduced trauma to ocular tissues
Patients typically require shorter surgical duration and return to daily functioning faster when compared to traditional methods.
Technology Used in Procedures
Surgical accuracy is enhanced through:
- 3D visualization systems
- digital microscopes
- intraoperative laser delivery
- high-speed vitrectomy instruments
- real-time retinal imaging guidance
Recovery Expectations
Postoperative guidance includes rest, medication, and follow-up imaging over subsequent weeks. Patient-specific instructions ensure stable retinal attachment and safe visual recovery.
FAQs
What determines whether minimally invasive surgery is appropriate?
Diagnostic imaging and clinical assessment determine whether microsurgical entry points and technique will adequately correct the condition.
Will the patient experience pain after surgery?
Mild discomfort may occur initially but is managed effectively with medication and postoperative protocols.
Are results permanent?
Many minimally invasive procedures provide long-term retinal stabilization depending on the underlying health condition.
