Abstract

RETINAL DETACHMENT (RD) SURGERY IS THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF A RETINAL SURGEON. HOWEVER, NOT ALL RD’S ARE THE SAME. EVOLVING TECHNOLOGY HAS ENABLED RETINAL SURGEONS TO PUSH THE LIMITS OF OPERABILITY AND ACHIEVE FAVOURABLE OUTCOMES. THIS COURSE OFFERS A VIDEO BASED TEACHING ON THE TECHNIQUES FOR HANDLING CHALLENGING CASES OF RD INCLUDING COMPLEX DIABETIC AND VASCULITIC DETACHMENTS, COLOBOMA AND TRAUMA RELATED DETACHMENTS, RD’S WITH EXTENSIVE PVR, HAEMORRHAGIC CHOROIDALS AND OPAQUE CORNEA. PAEDIATRIC RD’S IN BUPHTHALMIC EYES, RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY (ROP), FAMILIAL EXUDATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY (FEVR) AND COATS’ DISEASE WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED. SPECIAL FOCUS WILL BE GIVEN TO DEMONSTRATE THE USE OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES LIKE HIGH SPEED CUTTERS, 27-GAUGE INSTRUMENTATION, CHANDELIER ILLUMINATION AND ARTIFICIAL KERATOPROSTHESIS. THE COURSE AIMS TO BRING TOGETHER THE ENTHUSIASM OF THE YOUNG WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF THE OLD IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE COMPLEX CASES.
