Practical Manual of Vitreoretinal Surgery

The book, written by international experts from the European Vitreo-retinal Society and renowned experts from North America aims to guide the vitreoretinal surgeon on the management of different retinal surgery conditions in a clear, practical way. It covers a wide spectrum of vitreoretinal disorders ranging from simple to complex. Chapters range in topic from applied anatomy and physiology and preoperative examination of vitreoretinal patients to pars plana vitrectomy set up, and other peripheral retinal disorders such as retinal tears, degenerations, and retinoschisis. Later chapters delve into more complex conditions such as vitreoretinal surgery for anterior segment complications, vitreoretinal surgery in trauma, in pediatric patients, and in the case of ocular tumors.To ensure this book remains a practical resource for trainees, students, as well as more established surgeons, each chapter includes many high-quality figures and illustrations, along with a multitude of carefully-edited surgical videos that walks the reader through more complex procedures in vitreoretinal surgery. Additional teaching tools are used in each chapter to communicate important information: boxes highlight important and relevant tips and tricks, 1-2 clinical cases are discussed and give context to comorbid conditions and other complicating factors, and short bullet points  close each chapter for readers searching for a quick review. Practical Manual of Vitreoretinal Surgery will be a valuable resource for ophthalmology trainees and residents as well as established surgeons.
