Small-Gauge Vitrectomy for Diabetic Retinopathy 

Description:

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.


Preface

Diabetic retinopathy is the biggest challenge for the VR surgeon. The challenge is twofold; on the one hand, the sheer volume of patients and on the other hand a difficult surgery with a big peroperative and postoperative complication spectrum. Lack of medical care and the immense volume of patients lead to very advanced cases of a tractional retinal detachment, which untreated often ends in blindness. The vitrectomy of a tractional retinal detachment is the most difficult and challenging ocular surgery. It divides VR surgeons in mediocre and experienced surgeons. Diabetic retinopathy is surgically very demanding because you operate an inflamed and vascular active tissue. The essentials for success are

1. Sequential phaco/vitrectomy

2. Preoperative anti-VEGF

3. Bimanual vitrectomy

We will demonstrate small gauge vitrectomies. We describe the surgery step-bystep. Just like a recipe in a cookbook. First, the ingredients and then step-by-step the preparation. If you follow the recipes you will master this pathology. All steps are visualized with photographs and short videos.

Our endeavour is to teach more people how to master the surgical management of the diabetic eye. We wish every reader, may he or she be a beginner or an advanced surgeon, to enjoy reading this book and watching the surgical videos. All videos of this book are found on the YouTube channel from Ulrich Spandau and playing list “Proliferative diabetic retinopathy”
