Written by a pioneering leader in vitreoretinal surgery, this volume is a comprehensive how-to guide to all vitreoretinal procedures. The book describes in detail clinically proven methods for managing the anterior and posterior segment vitreous surgery patient in a systematic manner. Dr. Charles emphasizes the decision making process involved in evaluating the best treatment for a patient. With the assistance of Adam Katz, MD, Dr. Charles provides numerous algorithms for intraoperative decision-making, based on knowledge of physical principles and comparative risks of various techniques.

More than 100 three-dimensional full-color illustrations, created by Byron Wood, enable surgeons to clearly visualize the techniques. This edition has been completely rewritten with a greatly expanded art program.

A Brandon-Hill recommended title.
