retinal surgery concwrn

[emmygomez]

Okay so in about October my dad had retinal surgery. Then just on tuesday the oil was removed but when we went on Wednesday to get it checked the doctor noticed the retinal was detaching again. So the doctor told him to face his head down because he forgot to tell him on tuesdah. My concern is since it is already detaching will having his head down for a week cause the retinal to reattach or will he most likely need another surgery.?

I am not sure if a gas bubble was injected. I do remember that he checked if he put gel and he didnt so that is when he got worried. But thank you for your answer

Was a gas bubble injected on Wednesday?  If so, then the doctor may want your father to position his head in such a way that the gas bubble supports the detached retina, to allow it to attach.  I agree that a second opinion from another retina specialist may be in order.

Sounds like extreme negligence on the Doctors part.  He owns you some specific answers !
Best of luck.
