How Vitrectomy + ILM Peeling + Gas Tamponade is performed
This procedure is often based on minimally invasive vitrectomy, with optional staining to identify the internal limiting membrane. Vitrectomy is typically performed under microscopic systems and wide-angle retinal imaging, followed by peeling of the internal limiting membrane in the macular area, and traction release if necessary. Air or inert gas is then injected for internal tamponade to promote hole closure. Postoperative monitoring includes intraocular pressure, corneal transparency, and macular morphology, with the goal of closing the hole and improving central visual function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
