Branch (Ablatio)

Separation (ablatio) is the rejection or detachment of tissue or organ from surrounding structures.

The most common example of separation is retinal detachment—the separation of the retina from the underlying tissue. This may occur due to injury, diabetic retinopathy, or other medical conditions. When a retinal detachment occurs, a sharp deterioration in vision occurs, and “spots” or “veils” appear before the eyes. Treatment includes laser photocoagulation of the retina or surgery to reattach it.

The term "separation" can also be used to describe the rejection of a skin graft, necrotic tissue, or implant. In general, this means pathological separation of tissue from surrounding structures.

Separation (Latin ablatio - ablation) is a surgical operation consisting of detachment, suturing of the damaged or diseased area of ​​the retina from the underlying pigment epithelium. Performed in case of threat or presence of detachment and recurrent “light” and “color-side” amblyopia. The essence of the operation is to tear the vitreous body and further invert (detach) the retina along the aponeurotic line with subsequent attachment to the sclera. The operation is performed as directed by an ophthalmologist using a sharp ophthalmic knife. The advantages of the retinal separation method are the possibility
