What is Vitrectomy?
Vitrectomy removes vitreous gel through pars plana ports so the surgeon can address blood, membranes, traction, infection or retinal pathology and may use fluid, air, gas or silicone oil. Vitrectomy names vitreous removal and access; retinal detachment repair additionally reattaches retina, while macular-hole surgery includes macular membrane work and gas planning.
