  ABSTRACT: Vitreous surgery has improved remarkably with various advances in surgical instruments and techniques. The two most important breakthrough in recent years have been the introduction of small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) systems and new illumination devices. Compared with traditional 20-gauge PPV, sutureless small-gauge PPV appears to be safer, with a shorter operating time, less postoperative inflammation, less patient discomfort, and more rapid recovery of visual acuity. This article reviews recent progress in the surgical management of vitreous disease with a historical perspective.
