vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is a type of eye surgery that involves the removal of the vitreous humor, a clear gel-like substance that fills the space behind the lens inside the eyeball. The procedure is typically performed to address various eye conditions such as retinal detachment, macular hole, diabetic retinopathy, or to remove floaters from the line of sight. The space previously occupied by the vitreous humor is usually replaced with a saline solution, silicone oil, or a gas bubble.

Vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is 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.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
