Pars Plana Vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is a surgery to remove some
or all of the
vitreous humor from the
eye.
Anterior vitrectomy entails removing
small portions of the vitreous from the
front structures of the eye - often because
these are tangled in an
intraocular lens or other structures.
Pars plana vitrectomy is a general term for
a group of operations accomplished in the
deeper part of the eye, all of which involve
removing some or all of the vitreous - the
eye's clear internal jelly.
