| | Vitrectomy |
 | | Vitrectomy surgery is a major medical advance which allows us to treat retinal diseases and prevent vision loss for patients who, in previous years, may have gone blind without this technique. | | | During vitrectomy surgery, the retinal surgeon may use a variety of special techniques to achieve the desired results, including: | | | Literally hundreds of vitrectomy instruments are available to assist in different surgical maneuvers. |

| | Vitrectomy surgery |
| | Because vitrectomy is performed for many different problems and often in conjunction with other eye surgeries, the recovery period varies with the individual. | | | The retinal surgeon may use special techniques along with vitrectomy to treat the retina. | | | In some cases, such as macular hole surgery, the surgeon may place a gas bubble inside the eye that places gentle pressure on the macula. |

| | Vitrectomy: What It Is and Why It Is Done |
| | This leaflet discusses how a vitrectomy is performed and gives some examples of conditions which might require this procedure to be done. | | | Infants who have had a vitrectomy may close their eyes and cry when presented with visual stimuli. | | | The risks of the procedure must be weighed against the quality of life the patient is currently experiencing and the likelihood of additional problems if the vitrectomy is not done. |

| | Vitrectomy for floaters |
| | Due to improved techniques and instrumentation, vitrectomy, a technique used to clear blood and debris from the vitreous, a normally clear, gel-like substance that fills the center of the eye, is now a viable option for patients suffering from floaters. | | | Now, a new study conducted, suggests that vitrectomy may be a practical solution for many patients. | | | Brian Phillpotts M.D., of St. Luke's Retina Institute in Tarpon Springs, Florida says "with recent advances in vitrectomy techniques such as sutureless incisions, the risks are lower than ever in history for most types of vitreo-retinal surgery." Dr. Phillpotts has been performing the state-of-the-art, sutureless retina surgery for the past several years. |

| | Studies yield clues to cataractogenesis of vitreous surgery - Ophthalmology Times |
| | Acting on the hypothesis that vitrectomy not only changes the quality of the vitreous body but also may deliver higher oxygen to the lens, Dr. Holekamp and her colleagues conducted a study in which they measured the oxygen in the eye before and after vitrectomy. | | | The final component of their research was to study the effect of the vitrectomy it self on the ability of oxygen to reach the lens. | | | In contrast, oxygen tension was low in patients receiving local anesthesia and only slightly higher in those who underwent surgery under general anesthesia at approximately a 50% level of inhaled oxygen. |
