METHOD FOR PREVENTING HEMORRHAGIC COMPLICATIONS OF VITREORETINAL SURGERY Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61F9/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of medicine, namely, to ophthalmology. 3-port vitrectomy is performed removing the vitreous body, as well as synechiae removal, membranectomy, retinal mobilisation, and endolaser retinal coagulation. In order to prevent intraoperative and post-operative hemorrhagic complications in the course of surgery, when bleeding vessels appear, the pressure in the irrigation system is raised to 40-90 mm Hg. After temporary hemostasis is reached, the pressure is reduced to the starting values. The liquid is then replaced with air, and 1 to 2 drops of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are applied to each site of bleeding.

EFFECT: method reduces the risk of development of hemorrhagic complications, ultimately leading to an increase in the visual acuity.
