Cataract Surgery

Considering cataract surgery?   What you should know

The operation to replace a clouded lens is low-risk, fast, and effective, but requires some decision making.

Cataract surgery—which involves removing the eye's clouded lens and replacing it with a clear synthetic version—once required several days in the hospital and a long recovery period. Today it is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, and people are back to their normal lives within days. The success rate is high, and the rate of vision-threatening complications is relatively low. For people with cataracts, the decision whether to have surgery may be easy to make. However, two additional decisions might be more difficult: when to have surgery and what type of lens implant to get, says Dr. Laura Fine, an ophthalmologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

3D-Printed Devices and Organs

The 3D printer was invented in 1983 by Chuck Hull. In 2019, however, the medical industry began to perfect 3D printers to design and create artificial organs. Implants, joints, and prosthetics can be measured and designed precisely, so they fit perfectly in your body. The printing has improved the ability to accurately design and create artificial organs, so they're more likely to be comfortable and mobile for the recipient.

Research published in the British Medical Journal studied 350 cases of 3D-printed artificial implants, the majority of which were used in oral and maxillofacial surgery (affecting the mouth, teeth, jaws and face) and 23.7% of which were used in musculoskeletal system (which provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body). These implants were found to be "clinically effective," and it was concluded that these 3D printed devices "outperformed their conventional comparators."

In one case, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Glenn Green treated an infant with localized bronchial malacia, a breathing issue, with a three-dimensional splint created by a 3D printer. The splint immediately improved the infant's breathing. Said Dr. Green: "Beyond anything that I even dreamt about during my early training, 3D printing offers the ability to create medical devices to improve the lives of our patients."

General Surgery:

Surgery can be an effective treatment option for a wide range of diseases and disorders. Whether you are facing a complex, innovative surgical procedure or a technique that has been used successfully thousands of times, rest assured that when appropriate, doctors will use minimally invasive surgical techniques. This form of surgery can limit hospital stays, post-operative pain and recovery time, and often use smaller incisions that result in less scarring.

Gynecological Surgery:

If you have a gynecological condition that requires a surgical procedure, you can count on experienced, compassionate team of gynecologists, surgeons, gynecologic oncologists, urogynecologists, interventional radiologists, anesthesiologists, and nurse specialists for the highest, most advanced level of medical care.
