About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is an excellent, hands-on manual for vitrectomy, written by two experienced vitreo-retinal surgeons. … The illustrations and the intraoperative fundus pictures are very instructive. … The strength of the book is the structured and systematic step-by-step instruction to vitrectomy … . The book is certainly worth reading for beginners and experienced surgeons alike. I do not know of any other manual in the field that is as complete as this booklet.” (Bernd Kirchhof, Graefe’s Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 252 (1), January, 2014)
