The Ophthalmology service at the Reina Sofía University Hospital in Córdoba has incorporated a state-of-the-art microscope that offers numerous applications and functionalities for cornea, glaucoma, retina and cataract interventions, especially.Specifically, this visualization platform called Lumera 700 Rescan, offers solutions that improve the workflow in the operating room, the operating room, the intraoperative diagnosis and the treatment offered to the patient in the different subspecialties.
The provision of the service is to improve the quality of the surgical activity that was being carried out.The hospital complex has reported that the Ophthalmology unit carries out more than 6,000 surgical interventions per year (more than 50% cataract; 30% local, eyelid and pediatric surgery, and the remaining 20%, retinal, glaucoma, eye transplantation). cornea and anterior pole surgery) and, thanks to this acquisition, they can continue to be performed with the improvements and advantages of the new system.

Above all, according to the head of service, Encarna Ibarra, “what we achieve with this technology is to incorporate maximum precision tools in surgery.Furthermore, adding a new microscope allows us to have two teams, one in each surgical block, which also offers us the possibility of performing more weekly retina surgeries and under higher quality conditions.”
This technology, according to the same information, reduces the risk of complications, offers greater key definition for anatomical details and tissues and greater performance, allowing pathologies that are more difficult to manage and expanding the portfolio of services.
The new equipment incorporates the technique of surgical microscopy guided by OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), which is still little widespread in Andalusia and which is very useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of retinal, glaucoma and corneal diseases, as it provides a lot of information.
According to the same information, it is especially useful for corneal transplantation, both penetrating and lamellar (DMEK, DSEK, DSAEK, DWEK and DALK), and amniotic membrane transplantation, among others;also for the implantation of drainage devices (MIGS) for glaucoma;in retina for interface pathology such as vitreous-macular traction, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, and also in macular subretinal hemorrhages or complex cases of pathological myopia, for example;and, in the case of cataracts, for corneal alterations such as Descemet's detachments or incision alterations, among others.
This is because the technology processes images in sections with a penetration of millimeters and allows the visualization of the layers of the eye in real time during the intervention, among other functionalities.It is also a minimally invasive technique for the patient and, thanks to its precision, it is much safer.
This new workstation that has been installed at the Provincial Hospital, replaces the existing microscope in this surgical block that has been transferred to the Los Morales Hospital to perform retinal interventions there through posterior vitrectomy.Until now, this possibility did not exist in Los Morales, therefore, the incorporation of the second microscope will allow the number of interventions to increase.
This microscope is added to the rest of the technologies and equipment that the Reina Sofía Hospital has acquired in recent months for a value of eight million euros, of which more than 163,000 have had an impact on the Ophthalmology service (chairs, laser phototherapy, cryostat, among others).
