Micro Incision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS) is the most advanced surgical technique for treating retinal conditions. Using three tiny needle-sized ports (23 or 25 gauge), the vitreous gel is removed and retinal pathology is addressed. These micro-ports are self-sealing and usually do not require sutures, enabling faster recovery.
Three small incisions (less than 1mm) are made in the sclera. Through these ports, a light source illuminates the interior, an infusion line maintains eye pressure, and a vitrectomy cutter removes vitreous gel and treats retinal pathology. The entire surgery uses high-magnification microscopic visualization.
Vitrectomy is performed for retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, diabetic tractional detachment, endophthalmitis, and removal of dislocated lens fragments or intraocular foreign bodies.
Most patients experience significant improvement within 2–4 weeks. Specific postoperative positioning may be required depending on the condition treated. Eye drops are prescribed for several weeks. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing.
