Pars Plana Vitrectomy

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

A PPV is a surgical procedure in which the vitreous gel is removed using ports placed through the pars plana. The port system allows the procedure to be performed in a closed system, opposed to the previous open sky techniques. The advantages of the PPV are decreased operative times, increased patient comfort, decreased conjunctival scarring, decreased rate of infection, and decreased complication rates. It has become the gold standard for retinal surgery.
