[In Pictures] Mamelodi Regional Hospital Performs Major Specialized Eye Surgery to Restore Vision
The Ophthalmology team at Mamelodi Regional Hospital recently performed one of the most advanced and major eye surgeries, a Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV), on a patient's left eye to remove blood that had collected at the back of the eye and was impairing the patient's vision.
The procedure was successfully performed by Ophthalmologist Dr Matlala, who explained that a vitrectomy is carried out when bleeding inside the eye prevents a patient from seeing.
As one of the major procedures performed in ophthalmology, a Pars Plana Vitrectomy demonstrates Mamelodi Regional Hospital's growing capacity to provide advanced, sight-saving surgical care closer to the communities it serves.
