WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — When performing surgery on patients with uveitis, key points include controlling preoperative inflammation and being willing to question a diagnosis, according to a speaker at Retina 2022.
“Just remember, when you’re doing surgery on these patients, No. 1, make sure you’re controlling the inflammation pre-surgery and post-surgery,” Sunil K. Srivastava, MD, said.
Although many cases that require vitreoretinal surgery may be urgent, there are other surgeries that are not as critical, so keeping inflammation under control is an important step,
