Retina surgery hemorrhage

Retina surgery hemorrhage

Had Vitrectomy ERM/ILM peel surgery 2 weeks ago.  During surgery Doc said he had a small hemorrhage (due to pulling) that he lasered.  
My question is, does all surgery related hemorrhages  mean that he caused a tear in my retina ?
Hence, do I need to be concerned that fluid got behind ?
Any and all opinions would be appreciated.
Thank you !

The retinal is lasered if the doctor was concerned about a tear or possible tear.  You should not have any problems from this.

Thank you Dr. O,
The laser machine broke down and he had to wait approx. 10 min. to get a different machine in the room and warmed up, so I was concerned that in that 10 min. fluid may have worked behind the retina if indeed it was a tear.
Is it possible that he may have just pulled on a vessel without tearing anything?

I wasn't sure if I asked him this directly that I would actually get a forthright answer since he
knew that I knew the laser machine broke down .  I just want to know for my piece of mind.

If you can share anymore insight on this, I would GREATLY appreciat it.  Thank you !
