التخثير الضوئي
الهدف: يعالج الاضطرابات الشبكية المختلفة من خلال إغلاق أو تدمير الأوعية الدموية غير الطبيعية.
الإجراء: يتم استخدام الليزر لإنشاء حروق صغيرة على الشبكية.
ملاحظة: المعلومات المقدمة هنا تنطبق على إجراءات التجلط الضوئي (Photocoagulation) في الظروف القياسية. ومع ذلك، قد تختلف التفاصيل بناءً على عوامل فردية، مثل الحالة الأساسية للعين التي تُعالج، وصحة العين العامة للمريض، وأي مضاعفات قد تحدث أثناء أو بعد الإجراء. يجب على المرضى الذين يسعون للحصول على هذا العلاج من خلال السياحة الطبية أن يأخذوا في اعتبارهم أيضًا اللوائح المحلية وأهمية اختيار عيادة موثوقة تلتزم بالمعايير الدولية.
الإقامة في المستشفى/الخروج:
تُجرى عملية التجلط الضوئي عادةً كإجراء خارجي، مما يسمح لمعظم المرضى بالعودة إلى المنزل في نفس اليوم بعد إتمام العلاج.
مدة الإقامة في المستشفى:
لا يتطلب المرضى الذين يخضعون للتجلط الضوئي الإقامة في المستشفى. يتم خروجهم عادةً بعد فترة قصيرة من الإجراء، بعد التحقق من حالة أعينهم وتلقيهم تعليمات الرعاية بعد العلاج.
نوع التخدير:
تُجرى عملية التجلط الضوئي تحت التخدير الموضعي، باستخدام قطرات العين المخدرة لضمان عدم شعور المريض بالألم أثناء الإجراء. الإجراء بشكل عام سريع وقليل التداخل.
السفر بعد الإجراء:
يُنصح المرضى عادةً بتجنب السفر لمسافات طويلة لمدة تتراوح بين 24 إلى 48 ساعة بعد الإجراء للسماح بالمراقبة المناسبة ومعالجة أي مضاعفات محتملة، مثل عدم الراحة في العين أو تغييرات في الرؤية.
التحضير قبل الإجراء:
يتضمن التحضير للتجلط الضوئي اتباع تعليمات محددة من طبيب العيون، مثل استخدام قطرات العين الموصوفة قبل الإجراء، وترتيب وسيلة النقل إلى المنزل بعد العلاج. يجب على المرضى التأكد من أن لديهم جميع الوثائق والسجلات الطبية اللازمة إذا كانوا يسافرون دوليًا للعلاج.
مدة الإجراء:
تستمر عملية التجلط الضوئي عادةً بين 10 إلى 30 دقيقة، حسب مدى العلاج المطلوب. يستخدم طبيب العيون الليزر لإنشاء حروق صغيرة على الشبكية، مما يساعد على إغلاق الأوعية الدموية المتسربة أو تقليل نمو الأوعية الدموية غير الطبيعية في حالات مثل اعتلال الشبكية السكري.
مدة التعافي:
عادةً ما يكون التعافي من التجلط الضوئي سريعًا، حيث يمكن لمعظم المرضى استئناف الأنشطة الطبيعية خلال يوم واحد. قد يشعر بعض المرضى بعدم الراحة الطفيفة، أو الاحمرار، أو الرؤية الضبابية فورًا بعد الإجراء، ولكن هذه الأعراض عادةً ما تزول خلال بضعة أيام.
التكلفة المقدرة:
يمكن أن تختلف تكلفة التجلط الضوئي بناءً على مدى العلاج، وخبرة طبيب العيون، والموقع الجغرافي. يجب على المرضى استشارة مقدم الرعاية الصحية أو مركز العلاج للحصول على معلومات تفصيلية حول التكلفة، بما في ذلك أي رسوم إضافية للرعاية اللاحقة والأدوية.
رعاية ما بعد الإجراء:
تشمل العناية بعد الإجراء استخدام قطرات العين الموصوفة لمنع العدوى وتقليل الالتهاب. يجب على المرضى مراقبة أي علامات لمضاعفات، مثل الألم الشديد، أو الاحمرار الشديد، أو تغييرات في الرؤية، وإبلاغ مقدم الرعاية الصحية بهذه الأعراض على الفور. تعتبر مواعيد المتابعة المنتظمة مهمة لتقييم فعالية العلاج وتحديد ما إذا كانت هناك حاجة لجلسات إضافية.
