Infos

Since the development of 23G vitrectomy in 2004, the technique has revolutionized retinal surgery by overcoming a number of the problems associated with 20G and 25G systems and offering significant improvements in surgical capability and fluidics. This important book first discusses the instruments and equipment employed in 23G vitrectomy and then explains, step by step, the various surgical techniques with the aid of informative diagrams and many high-quality photos. In addition, videos are included that document the different procedures, from the straightforward to the demanding. This book will serve as an immensely useful guide for all surgeons who are intending to make use of this exciting and increasingly used technique.

Dr. Ulrich Spandau studied biology, mathematics and medicine at the University of Würzburg and subsequently underwent surgical training at the Eye Clinic, Koblenz. In 2006 he became Vice-Director of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Mannheim-Heidelberg and now works as a specialist at the Department of Ophthalmology, Uppsala University Hospital (Akademiska sjukhuset). Dr. Spandau has undertaken research in diverse areas of ophthalmology and is the author of some fifty publications.
