Most retinal surgery
procedures are performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital or medical
center. We have access to the best facilities in the community. We
often use local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care. This "twilight"
anesthesia may facilitate more rapid recovery. In children and select
adults, general anesthesia care may be used.
Most patients will go to hospital admitting
the day of surgery, followed by the preoperative holding area and
then the operating room. The surgery may take from 30 minutes to
several hours depending on the nature of the problem.
