Pre-Treatment and Surgical Procedure

For the pre-treatment and procedure, Mr. Yaya Affi was a daycare patient in the hospital. As with any cornea transplant process, there are several required tests as well as several that were recommended before the procedure to set the settings for the treatment. they reaffirmed Mr. Yaya Affi’s eligibility for the surgery. A few of them were a physical examination, a psychosocial assessment, and compatibility tests such as tissue type, blood typing, and crossmatching. They also examined his medical and surgical history. Blood tests, chest X-rays, echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, cardiac stress tests, cancer screenings, colonoscopies, and other testing were among the additional elective procedures that were carried out.

Surgery to replace the cornea or the transparent front layer of one’s eye, is known as a corneal transplant. Other names for cornea transplants include corneal grafting and keratoplasty. If one has corneal damage, the eye doctor might advise one to consider getting a corneal transplant. Irritation of the cornea results in impaired and clouded vision. During a corneal transplant, the corneal damage is excised by the surgeon and replaced with healthy corneal tissue that has been donated. Many people’s quality of life and vision are restored by corneal transplant surgery.

Post Treatment

After the procedure, the corneal transplant post-treatment recovery period lasted only at daycare in the hospital and one month in the country. The patient stayed in a hospital unit dedicated to transplant care during his stay.

The 30-day stay in India encompassed both the post-treatment recuperation phase and the treatment duration for the patient. The treating and consulting physicians encouraged Mr. Yaya Affi to do this. MediGence assisted in planning the patient’s and his brother’s complete trip, course of treatment, and stay. Following the procedure, the physicians gave the patient and his attendant a list of dos and don’ts. This also required a few follow-up consultations, which MediGence oversaw.
