Cecopexy

Cecopexia is a surgical procedure used to correct an abnormal position of the lacrimal gland or duct. Cecopexy is also called typhlopexy (typhlos - lacrimal duct, pexia - attachment).

Cecopexy may be necessary if the tear gland or duct is too close to the eyeball, which can lead to various problems such as watery eyes, dry eyes, and decreased vision.

The caecopexy procedure involves removing the excess tear gland or duct and moving it to a more correct position. This can be done using microsurgical instruments that can precisely guide and secure the tissue in the desired location.

After surgery, the patient may experience some pain and discomfort for a few days, but in general the procedure does not require long recovery and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Cecopexy is a relatively safe procedure, however, like any other surgery, it may have some risks such as bleeding, infection, damage to eye tissue and other complications. Therefore, before performing the operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and conduct the necessary examinations.

Overall, cecopexy is an effective method for correcting the abnormal location of the lacrimal gland and duct and can help improve the quality of life of patients with such problems.

Cecopexy is a surgical operation in which the eye is fixed to the bones of the skull.

Cecopexy surgery is a last resort for treating patients with glaucoma who have experienced vitreous prolapse and, as a result, the access of fluids to the visual analyzer has been impaired. This can happen after a large penetrating wound or with a strong blow to the orbital area, which also impairs access to the inside of the eyeball. Indications for cecopexy must be strictly individual and combined with the possibility of performing an operation with the corresponding expected result. After completion of the cecopipsy, the cavity is sealed and balanced, and then the patient is referred for further restorative treatment.

Complications that arise after surgery can be caused by damage to tissue integrity, injury to nerve fibers, and disruption of the orbicular and oculomotor muscles. Some of them are easy to treat, while others are difficult to treat and require specialized medical care.
