The field of vitreoretinal (VR) surgery has undergone a remarkable evolution over the years, and this comprehensive handbook offers a thorough exploration of its past, present, and future. Spanning a wide range of topics, from its intriguing origins to recent technological advancements, from surface anatomy to clinical relevance, from anesthesia to operation theater setup and maintenance, from major surgical steps to sub-steps, from complication prevention to management, and from routine surgeries to rare procedures, this handbook provides a comprehensive guide. Additionally, it includes a section on futuristic surgeries and another on significant studies related to vitreoretinal surgery. Thus, Handbook of Vitreoretinal Surgery serves as a valuable resource for both novice and experienced VR surgeons, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on this exciting branch of ophthalmic surgery.

Recent developments in vitreoretinal (VR) surgery have revolutionized the field, offering new and innovative techniques to improve patient outcomes. One such development is the use of 3D surgery, which allows surgeons to have a more detailed and accurate view of the surgical site, enabling them to perform complex procedures with greater precision. Another notable advancement is the telescopic intraocular lens (IOL), which provides improved vision correction for patients with high myopia or astigmatism. Bionic implants, such as artificial retina and cochlear implants, have also been developed to restore vision and hearing in patients with severe disabilities.

In addition to these technological advancements, the importance of surface anatomy in VR surgery has gained increasing attention. A deeper understanding of the intricate structures of the eye and the vitreous body is essential for successful surgical procedures. This handbook provides a comprehensive review of surface anatomy, including the anatomy of the retina, macula, and optic nerve, as well as the vitreous body and its functions.

Furthermore, this handbook is accompanied by videos showcasing rare surgeries that illustrate the latest techniques and approaches in VR surgery. These videos include endoillumination-assisted scleral buckling surgery, placement of retisert intravitreal implant, suprachoroidal drug injection, intralesional injection into a subretinal abscess, and endoillumination-assisted biopsy of intraocular mass lesions. These procedures demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of VR surgery in addressing a wide range of eye conditions.

Handbook of Vitreoretinal Surgery is a valuable resource for both novice and experienced VR surgeons, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field. With its emphasis on recent developments, surface anatomy, and rare surgical procedures, this handbook is essential for anyone interested in advancing their knowledge and expertise in vitreoretinal surgery.
