How Scleral Plaque Radiotherapy is performed
After the radiotherapy team evaluates and determines the planned dose, a suitable isotope and plaque model are selected. Under microsurgery, the plaque is sutured to the scleral surface corresponding to the lesion location, so that the local tissue receives brachytherapy within a set time to achieve the goal of controlling the lesion and reducing exudation; the plaque is removed after the treatment is completed. Postoperative monitoring includes wound, inflammation, and imaging changes. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
