Book description
Dr. Kreissig has spent a lifetime refining and teaching the minimalized
approach to repairing retinal detachments. Get the benefit of her
experience in an easily accessible, pocket-sized handbook that fits into
your lab coat and is also ideal for bedside or office consultation.
Volume 2 describes the art of a minimal approach by using the balloon or
the gases or as reoperation, as treatment for various retinal
detachments. The text is excellently illustrated, written in an
easy-to-understand fashion and in a dialogue style. Important facts are
highlighted in red boxes. The four rules to find the break in a
reoperation are depicted on the back cover, thus easy to be looked up.
The reader is taken step-by-step through each procedure for easy and
more complex detachments. In separate chapters, extraocular and
intraocular techniques for retinal reattachment are compared to
reoperation. Ophthalmologists, fellows in retinal and vitreous surgery,
students and residents will find this information-packed manual
