Vitrectomy is a microsurgical procedure that removes the vitreous gel from inside the eye to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, diabetic vitreous hemorrhage, and floaters. China's vitreoretinal surgeons use 25G and 27G microincision systems for sutureless surgery with faster healing. Major eye hospitals perform thousands of vitrectomies annually with outcomes matching international benchmarks.
