Abstract
The advent of micro-incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) changed the approach, indications and complications of vitreoretinal surgeries forever. Since its introduction in 2002, MIVS has been gaining popularity amongst retinal surgeons for managing a wide variety of vitreoretinal disorders. MIVS allows for more efficient surgery, faster recovery time and better visual outcomes than 20G vitrectomy. The use of instrumentation having small diameters reduced trauma from conjunctival and scleral manipulation as well as post-operative inflammation and corneal astigmatism. Further refinement of techniques with the introduction of 27G for routine procedures increases the comfort for the patient and minimises the recovery time. In this review, we briefly summarise the journey of MIVS to its present status and discuss the various advances that have taken place to achieve better efficiency and results.
