Vitrectomy (lat. vitreum, vitreous body; ectomy, removal) is a surgical procedure to remove the altered vitreous body or its part. And, in most cases, this is only the primary component of further work in the deepest and most delicate structures of the human eye, the retina (from the Latin “retina” – retina).

Frequently Asked Questions:
We take a comprehensive approach to assessing risks and predicting your visual functions. A complete ophthalmological examination will help determine whether surgical intervention is appropriate.
Flashes or lightning in the eyes, narrowing or loss of visual field, decreased visual acuity, “floaters” in front of the eyes, and sometimes a sensation of pressure or heaviness inside the eye. If you experience such symptoms, it is crucial to consult a doctor immediately and undergo a thorough diagnostic examination.
The duration of the surgery depends on the severity of the condition and the extent of the intervention. On average, the procedure takes 1.5-2 hours. It is performed on an outpatient basis under the supervision of experienced anesthesiologists. In complex cases, the operation may take longer, especially if repeat manipulations or advanced techniques are required.
The restoration of visual acuity after retinal detachment depends on the speed of diagnosis and treatment. Timely consultation with a doctor can prevent further deterioration and significantly improve vision.
Recovery after vitreoretinal surgery can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient’s condition. During the recovery period, it is essential to visit an ophthalmologist regularly to monitor the healing process and detect any potential complications.
This may be contraindicated due to the specifics of the surgery. Permission to drive after vitreoretinal surgery is granted exclusively by the doctor.
Yes, recurrent retinal detachment is possible. Unfortunately, it is a recurring condition. The recurrence may occur due to several factors, and its risk depends on the initial state of the retina and the patient’s individual characteristics.
The operation can be performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on the type of intervention, the patient’s condition, and other factors. The ophthalmologist and anesthesiologist select the optimal method of anesthesia based on individual needs.
Yes, silicone usually needs to be removed once the retina has stabilized. It may remain in the eye for several months or much longer, depending on the retina’s condition. Gas does not require surgical removal as it naturally dissipates over time.
