vitreoretinal surgery course

 

Purpose of the Vitreoretinal Surgery Course

Over the past few years, there have been major advancements in the techniques and equipment used in vitreoretinal surgery. So, it is important to understand the rationale behind the various aspects of the surgical techniques and maneuvers.

This would allow a surgeon not only to be able to perform the procedure effectively but also to be flexible and confident to modify the technique according to the specific requirements of the patient. Also, one needs to understand how to manage and achieve the best possible outcomes for the complications.

First and foremost, the Vitreoretinal Surgery Course would walk the participants through the key anatomy, histology, and physiology of both the vitreous and retina, as well as the pharmacotherapeutics in the medical retina. This is essential not only in understanding the pathological basis of vitreoretinal diseases but also in the visual outcome of the treatment.

Secondly, all the basic science knowledge and current clinical and surgical management options for different vitreoretinal diseases would be taught.

Last but not least, the course would focus on the surgical techniques that are commonly performed in modern vitreoretinal practices.

Vitreoretinal Surgery Course Objectives

The main objectives of the Vitreoretinal Surgery Course are:

•   provide ophthalmic surgeons with a comprehensive knowledge of the indications, surgical techniques, and outcomes in vitreoretinal surgery: The program is designed for practicing ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents (in their final year of training) who have little or no prior experience with vitreoretinal surgery.
•   By the end of the course, it is expected that participants will be able to understand and explain the rationale for surgical decision-making in vitreoretinal surgery, know the basic operative steps, potential difficulties, and how to overcome them, become familiar with the routine pre-and postoperative care of these patients, and gain a deeper understanding of the kind of symptoms and signs one might expect from a procedural complication and how best to investigate and manage these.
•   Wet-Lab training: These are not only useful for understanding why certain procedures are performed in the way they are but also in developing the manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination needed to perform surgery safely. Finally, it is hoped that the transition of knowledge from the wet labs to improvement in surgical ability
