Dr. Kreissig has spent a lifetime refining and teaching the minimalized approach to repairing retinal detachments. Get the benefit of her experience in an easily accessible, pocket-sized handbook that fits into your lab coat and is also ideal for bedside or office consultation. Volume 2 describes the "art of a minimal approach" by using the balloon or the gases or as reoperation, as treatment for various retinal detachments. The text is excellently illustrated, written in an easy-to-understand fashion and in a dialogue style. Important facts are highlighted in red boxes. The four rules to find the break in a reoperation are depicted on the back cover, thus easy to be looked up. The reader is taken step-by-step through each procedure for easy and more complex detachments. In separate chapters, extraocular and intraocular techniques for retinal reattachment are compared to reoperation.
