Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays, vitrectomy is the primary method of surgical treatment of many retinal, vitreous and vitreo-retinal surface diseases. Over the last several years, we have witnessed minimization of surgical incisions in many areas of medicine, including ophthalmology. It may led to faster recovery, and fewer complications. The paper aims to present the current state of knowledge on the benefits of microvitrectomy, and in particular to present the advantages and disadvantages of the 27-gauge vitrectomy.
