About Vitrectomy Surgery
Vitrectomy is a specialized eye surgery performed to treat disorders of the vitreous humor and retina — the back portion of the eye responsible for sharp vision. At Paras Hospital, Kanpur, we offer minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery for a wide range of conditions affecting the posterior segment of the eye. Our retina specialists use advanced micro-surgical instruments and visualization systems to deliver precise, result-oriented outcomes.

What is Vitrectomy?
Vitrectomy is a procedure in which the vitreous gel (the clear, jelly-like substance inside the eye) is surgically removed to allow access to the retina. This is essential in treating conditions such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, macular holes, and diabetic retinopathy. The removed vitreous is replaced with a gas bubble, saline, or silicone oil depending on the need for retinal support and healing.
Common Conditions Treated with Vitrectomy:
-
Retinal detachment
-
Diabetic retinopathy with vitreous bleeding
-
Vitreous hemorrhage
-
Macular hole or epiretinal membrane
-
Severe eye floaters or infections
-
Traumatic retinal injury
-
Complications from cataract surgery
Vitrectomy Surgery Options at Paras Hospital, Kanpur
Our experienced vitreoretinal surgeons offer personalized treatment plans, including:
Standard Pars Plana Vitrectomy
This is the most common approach where small instruments are inserted through micro-incisions to remove the vitreous gel and treat the retinal condition.
Vitrectomy with Laser Treatment
In cases such as retinal tears or diabetic retinopathy, endolaser photocoagulation is used along with vitrectomy for sealing and stabilizing the retina.
Vitrectomy with Gas or Silicone Oil
Used for retinal detachment, the procedure involves inserting a gas bubble or silicone oil to hold the retina in place during healing.
Vitrectomy for Floaters or Hemorrhage
For patients with non-resolving floaters or bleeding due to diabetes or trauma, vitrectomy offers significant visual relief.
Who Should Consider Vitrectomy?
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Have sudden or progressive vision loss due to retinal issues
-
Experience floaters or flashes of light caused by vitreous degeneration
-
Are diagnosed with macular hole, retinal detachment, or vitreous hemorrhage
