Complications of Vitreo-Retinal Surgery
Lois & Wong
In the ever-changing field of vitreo-retinal
surgery, the factor that may best distinguish a
great surgeon from a good one is the ability to
avoid and manage complications. Within the
pages of
Complications of Vitreo-Retinal
Surgery
, readers will discover the practical
information ophthalmic surgeons need to
address a wide range of intra- and postoperative
complications associated with vitreo-retinal
surgery. The text addresses a broad range of
complications, occurring in both established and
emerging surgical techniques. Each potential complication is analyzed
in detail, including information on pathogenesis and risk factors.
Chapters are organized by potential complication, with each addressed
by a single contributing author as if he/she is the surgeon on the case.
While created specifically for vitreo-retinal surgeons, this book will
provide useful information for other members of the surgical team as
well as for general ophthalmologists, residents, and optometrists who
see patients before and after vitreoretinal procedures.
Features:
Detailed coverage addresses specific complications related to
▶
▶
scleral buckling, pneumatic retinopexy and 20-, 23-, and 25 -gauge
vitrectomy
Expert contributors help you avoid and manage each complication,
▶
▶
and offer guideposts for projected clinical outcomes.
Bulleted points deliver clinical pearls on the prevention and
▶
▶
management of specific complications.
Real-world clinical scenarios offer stepwise guidance in the
▶
▶
management of each issue.
