Guide to Phacoemulsification (AIOS CME Series No.21) (2010) by Har Bansh Lal PDF

Description

Dear Colleagues, Cataract surgery is the commonest surgery performed by Ophthalmo- logists and phacoemulsification is the best technique for this. There are many books available on Phacoemulsification, but concise, brief and to the point instructional phaco techniques for the learning surgeon are not available. Even in Conferences and CMEs the discussions revolve around fourth generation phaco machines, advanced IOL materials and techniques. However, it is a thorough knowledge of basic techniques that lays the foundation for graduating to advanced methods and avoiding complications. In this issue of AIOS CME series titled “Basics of Phacoemulsi- fication”, Dr Harbansh Lal, Vice Chairman, Department of Ophthalmo- logy, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi and the co-authors have presented the basic techniques of Phacoemulsification in a very simplified and illustrative manner. Every step of phacoemulsification from incision to IOL implantation, as well as how to convert and the management of the most dreaded complication – PCR have been very well covered. I am sure this will benefit each and every Ophthalmologist. I would like to appreciate the efforts of Dr Harbansh Lal, Dr Tinku Bali, Dr Ikeda, Dr Swapna Parekh and Dr Saurabh Sawhney in compiling an excellent practical guide on Phacoemulsification.
