Verduno: A Regional Reference Center
The numbers speak for themselves: with hundreds of cornea transplant procedures performed (around 370 since 2021, an impressive figure!), the Ophthalmology unit in Verduno has established itself as one of the leading regional reference centers in Piedmont for this delicate and vital surgery.
But what makes this department so special?
Innovation and Technology Serving the Patient
Verduno's excellence lies not just in the volume of operations, but above all in the quality of care and the adoption of the most cutting-edge techniques:
- Advanced Surgical Techniques: The medical team masters not only Penetrating Keratoplasty (which replaces the entire cornea) but also the most recent lamellar techniques such as DALK, DSAEK, and DMEK. These innovative methods allow for the selective replacement of only the diseased parts of the cornea, drastically reducing the risk of rejection and shortening post-operative recovery times.
- Comprehensive Care Pathway: From diagnosis to surgery, and through the essential post-operative follow-up, patients are monitored with the utmost attention. A cornea transplant requires constancy and rigorous check-ups, and the Verduno team guarantees a personalized pathway that, in the vast majority of cases, leads to excellent visual recovery.
Inspiring Success Stories
Behind every statistic are transformed lives. Stories like that of a patient who, following a severe cornea trauma, recovered perfect 20/20 (10/10) vision thanks to the prompt intervention and the transplant performed at Verduno. These are the "Good News" that make the team's work, according to the patients themselves, a "patrimony of humanity."
