How MIVS + ILM Peeling + Gas Tamponade is performed
This procedure is performed with appropriate tamponade materials (such as gas or silicone oil). Minimally invasive channels are usually established through the pars plana, the vitreous body is removed, the internal limiting membrane is treated after staining, and if necessary, a reversed flap is used to cover the hole, followed by intraocular fluid exchange and injection of tamponade to support macular reattachment. Postoperative monitoring of intraocular pressure and retinal status is performed, along with postural management, with the goal of promoting hole closure and macular structure reconstruction. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
