Despite high success rates, complications remain:
Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) is a microsurgical procedure that removes the vitreous humor from the eye through small incisions in the pars plana (the flat part of the ciliary body). First pioneered by Robert Machemer in the early 1970s, PPV has evolved from a 17-gauge, single-port, laborious procedure into a sophisticated, high-speed, multi-port, sutureless system.
