How Pediatric Phacoemulsification + Posterior Capsulotomy + Anterior Vitrectomy is performed
This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Phacoemulsification or irrigation and aspiration can be selected to remove the opaque lens depending on the condition. Posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy are often performed with the aid of a microscope and surgical system to maintain a clear visual axis. If applicable, an intraocular lens can be implanted at the same time or at a later stage. Postoperative monitoring includes corneal transparency, intraocular pressure, and inflammation, with the goal of creating conditions for subsequent visual rehabilitation. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
