Vitreoretinal Surgery (2013) by Thomas H. Williamson PDF

Description

This is the second edition of a highly successful textbook that in many areas has become the preferred manual of vitreoretinal surgery. It provides a complete guide to all common vitreoretinal surgical procedures and also covers diagnosis and other aspects of management. The book is designed to allow a trainee or professional vitreoretinal surgeon to determine the best methodology in individual cases. In order to acquaint the reader with different opinions, “surgical pearls” have been contributed by other international experts in the field. These have proved popular in the past as an illustration of alternative methods, without detracting from the overall method described by the main author. Vitreoretinal Surgery will continue to prove particularly popular amongst trainees, but will also be of value to practicing professionals who need help in the management of difficult and rare cases. The text is backed up by the provision of videos of some aspects of the surgery.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Absolutely fantastic book. Truly to-the-point, extremely practical, and easy to read. Numerous figures and schematics helps in understating problems faced by retinal surgeons. New imaging technologies and emerging surgical techniques are discussed where necessary. I had the first edition; loved it. I bought the second one and love it even more.

⭐The book is excellent, as expected.Amazon was not this time – I have just re-ordered the book for the third time as the DVD was not included with the first two orders.

⭐Great and oustanding reading source for VR fellows. Best in my personal opinion.

⭐Great book, excellent tips for budding VR surgeons.

⭐Light reading and easy to coprehend

⭐I am writing this review as a UK ophthalmologist. I think the text of the book is excellent, particularly as it seems to be designed to give a surgeon in training a quick way of understanding the surgical side with excellent tips. My reason for only giving 3 stars is the poor audio recordings on the DVD, which are essentially amateurish and make them not pleasurable to watch through. I don’t understand why they were not recorded or re-recorded professionally, given the expensive price of the book and DVD package. However, I guess we have to be thankful that a DVD was included at all?
