Fig. 3. A. The vitrectomy cutter is used to create a tunnel through the formed vitreous to an area of vitreoretinal separation. B. The remaining posterior vitreous exerts traction on the epiretinal membrane, assisting in visualization of epicenters of adhesion. C. Horizontal scissors are used to amputate the fibrovascular adhesion at the retinal surface. D. The posterior vitreous surface and the entire fibrovascular membrane have been freed from the retina and are removed using the vitrectomy probe.
