IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele provides specialized Vitrectomy with a focus on precise retinal surgery, preservation of vision, and individualized post-operative care. Established in 1971, the SSN accredited hospital is located in milan, Italy and operates 1350 beds with modern ophthalmic infrastructure.

Vitrectomy is a surgical technique used to manage diseases affecting the vitreous and retina when less invasive treatments are insufficient. It may be performed for macular holes, epiretinal membranes, retinal detachments, non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage, or selected complications associated with diabetic retinopathy. During surgery, the surgeon removes the vitreous and may perform procedures such as membrane peeling, endolaser, or retinal fluid drainage. The eye may then be filled with a balanced solution, gas, or silicone oil depending on the surgical requirement. Recovery varies according to the underlying condition and additional retinal procedures performed.
