Vitrectomy, mechanical, pars plana approach; with removal of preretinal cellular membrane (eg, macular pucker)
AI EXPLANATION: This outpatient eye surgery involves removing the clear, jelly-like fluid (vitreous) from the center of the eye and carefully peeling away an abnormal layer of scar tissue, commonly known as a macular pucker or epiretinal membrane, from the retina. Clearing this membrane relieves tension on the back of the eye to help stabilize or restore visual clarity.
