Abstract
Awareness of important anatomical landmarks during vitreoretinal surgery contributes to favorable outcomes in the postoperative period. While external anatomical landmarks include pars plana, ora serrata, and vortex veins, long posterior ciliary nerves, vortex vein ampulla, and optic disc constitute the internal anatomical landmarks for vitreoretinal surgery. The forces that prevent the development of retinal detachment by keeping the retina in place are the retina pigment epithelium pump, the interphotoreceptor matrix, the presence of vitreous gel, and intraocular pressure. The main aim of the surgeon should be removing vitreous as much as possible and releasing vitreoretinal tractions which cause retinal detachment and vitreoretinal interface problems.
