Surgery for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

I have a very nice you tube video that shows creation of the PVD and the removal of the tractional elements.  The PVD was created only partially and then was extended using the shaking and jiggling of the  vitreous with the vitrectomy probe.  As the vitreous separated from the retina surface the tractional elements also separated.  The eye looks great with no cicatrix. This is much better in full size, I advise you goto youtube to view.  Hit the link below.
