Abstract
Pediatric vitreoretinal surgery (PVRS) has important differences compared to that in adults. Main differences are on sclerotomy sites, the necessity for posterior hyaloid separation and complete vitrectomy, endo-tamponade, the choice of surgery type and approach according to vitreoretinal disease. Here, we tried to summarize the main differences in PVRS compared to adult vitreoretinal surgery and some critical points for this surgery.
