How 25G/27G Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) is performed
This procedure is mostly performed under local or general anesthesia. A micro-incision cannula is placed through the pars plana of the ciliary body, and perfusion fluid is injected. Then, a vitrectomy cutter is used to remove turbidity/bleeding. If necessary, the traction membrane is separated and removed, and endolaser is performed to consolidate the ischemic area. If applicable, air, inert gas, or silicone oil can be selected to fill the eye to stabilize the retina. Small incisions can often self-seal. Postoperatively, the focus is on monitoring intraocular pressure, corneal and retinal status, and guiding body position as needed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
