Obtain superior training in retinal detachment and be able to act with greater safety for patients with this pathology"

Retinal detachment is the pathology par excellence in the surgery of retinal diseases. Its treatment is surgical in any of its varieties, so it is necessary that ophthalmology professionals acquire a deep knowledge in this type of interventions. In this program, all the possible techniques for the treatment of this disease are studied in depth, from the application of laser with its possibilities and characteristics, to scleral surgery and ending with vitrectomy.

Scleral surgery is less and less treated in the training programs of new specialists. However, its knowledge and the richness of its techniques make the difference between good and bad retinal surgeons. With this Postgraduate certificate, the student will be able to delve into all the details concerning scleral surgery, as well as its possible intraoperative and postoperative complications and how they can be solved. In this way, accessory techniques such as pneumatic retinopexy, Lincoff's balloon and other techniques less used nowadays are detailed in detail, but which will give the student a greater richness when facing this pathology.

On the other hand, vitrectomy is the main surgical technique for the treatment of this disease and, therefore, in this Postgraduate certificate the student will have a completely detailed training of all the steps and surgical tricks involved. Likewise, the different techniques that exist to deal with retinal detachments are discussed, depending on the number of breaks or the location of the different breaks that professionals may encounter. On the other hand, the surgical techniques for the treatment of vitreoretinal proliferation, one of the most complex points of vitreous and retinal surgery, are detailed.

The training program has a teaching staff specialized in ocular pathology and surgery, and that brings both their practical experience of their day to day in private practice, as well as their long experience of teaching at national and international level. In addition, it has the advantage of being a 100% online training, so the student can decide from where to study and at what time. This way, you will be able to flexibly self-direct your study hours.
