About this book

This book describes step by step how to operate on the patient with diabetic retinopathy. After thorough explanation of surgical planning, including the potential need to perform individual procedures at different time points, each stage of the vitrectomy is clearly documented with the aid of color photographs and drawings as well as online surgical videos. Variations in approach are described that are potentially of value, depending on whether one is dealing with a straightforward diabetic retinopathy or a difficult case of tractional retinal detachment. In the second part of the book, a series of case reports are presented that illustrate the surgical procedures applicable in different circumstances. In addition, pearls and pitfalls are highlighted. Small-Gauge Vitrectomy for Diabetic Retinopathy will be an ideal source of information and guidance for all who are embarking upon such surgery or wish to further hone their skills.

Reviews

“The authors describe the surgical techniques they use for treatment of the complications of diabetic eye disease in this book. It includes techniques, clinical pearls, photos, and videos, as well as case presentations. … The audience is vitreoretinal surgeons who have varying degrees of experience with complicated diabetic patients.” (William Rhoades, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
