[In Pictures] Mamelodi Regional Hospital Performs Major Specialized Eye Surgery to Restore Vision

The Ophthalmology team at Mamelodi Regional Hospital recently performed one of the most advanced and major eye surgeries, a Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV), on a patient's left eye to remove blood that had collected at the back of the eye and was impairing the patient's vision.

The procedure was successfully performed by Ophthalmologist Dr Matlala, who explained that a vitrectomy is carried out when bleeding inside the eye prevents a patient from seeing.

"When blood collects at the back of the eye, we remove it through a small incision using specialized instruments. Once the blood has been cleared, we can examine the retina to identify the cause of the bleeding," said Dr Matlala.

The surgery typically takes between 45 minutes and one hour, depending on the findings during the procedure. Because highly specialized, minimally invasive instruments are used, the incisions are very small and often do not require stitches. Patients generally experience minimal discomfort and recover with very little pain following the surgery.

As one of the major procedures performed in ophthalmology, a Pars Plana Vitrectomy demonstrates Mamelodi Regional Hospital's growing capacity to provide advanced, sight-saving surgical care closer to the communities it serves.
