The success of retinal detachment surgery is not guaranteed, as each case can vary in complexity. Some patients may require multiple procedures, and your doctor will thoroughly explain the potential risks and advantages of the surgery before proceeding.
-
The success rate of retinal detachment surgery is around 85-90% with a single operation, resulting in the reattachment and stability of the retina. However, there is a 5-10% chance of requiring additional surgery due to new tears, scar tissue, or redetachment.
-
Post-operative cataract formation is a possible side effect of the surgery, which typically requires separate treatment.
-
As with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of infection and bleeding during retinal detachment surgery. These risks, although low, can result in permanent visual loss if they occur.
