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, 2nd Edition has been updated in response to the rapid increase of diabetes worldwide and the technical advancements in ocular surgery. New chapters on anatomy, surgery and novel laser photocoagulation strategies for diabetic retinopathy also feature in this revised edition. This book is an ideal source of information and guidance for all who are embarking upon such surgery or wish to further hone their skills.
