Glaucoma Surgery (Book & DVD)

Glaucoma Surgery (Book & DVD), 9780824727437 (0824727436), CRC Press, 2005

Why a new Glaucoma surgery text at this time? A review of currently available texts reveals a paucity of readily available information for the Glaucoma Specialist. Although there are some excellent surgical texts for general ophthalmologists, there are few indepth texts available to help the Glaucoma specialist deal with complications seen after adult glaucoma surgery.

This book is divided into two sections. A “How to” section and a section on management of complications. Topics covered in the latter section include management of the postoperative eye with high intraocular pressure with deep chamber, the flat anterior chamber with high intraocular pressure and the flat chamber with low intraocular pressure.

To aid learning surgery we have also included a surgical DVD. This DVD covers a number of important topics including Peng Khaw’s method of doing a trabeculectomy, how to insert an Ahmed valve and how to manage bleb problems. I am indebted to Professor Peng Khaw, Dr. Garry Condon and especially Dr. Wai-Ching Lam for their important contributions to the DVD. I would like to thank all the surgeons who gave their valuable time to the preparation of this book.

This book contains an international approach to glaucoma surgery and the management of complications. I make no apology for extensively utilizing Canadian expertise.

My Canadian colleagues are expert in dealing with complications and as a result they have made substantial contributions to this new surgical text.

I sincerely hope this text will help practicing glaucoma specialists decide on the most appropriate surgery for their patients and help surgeons deal rationally with complications seen postoperatively in the adult eye.
