Retinochoroidal surgery is a procedure that addresses conditions affecting both the retina and the choroid, the layer of blood vessels beneath the retina. It is typically used to treat retinal detachment, choroidal tumors, or other complex retinal diseases that involve both layers.
The surgery may involve reattaching the retina, removing tumors, or addressing retinal tears. Depending on the condition, the procedure may include techniques such as vitrectomy, laser therapy, or cryotherapy.
Retinochoroidal surgery is critical for preserving vision in patients with complex retinal conditions, and it can significantly improve outcomes when performed early in the disease process.
