ABOUT THE BOOK

Step by Step Vitrectomy, co-authored by the distinguished vitreoretinal surgeons Dr. Jose J. Martinez-Toldos and Dr. Jairo E. Hoyos, is a highly specialized, clinical operative manual focusing on the intricate microsurgical techniques of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Published by Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, this benchmark surgical atlas is accompanied by two high-definition DVD-ROMs containing live operative footage. The core philosophy of this text centers on delivering raw, practical theater guidance rather than dense, speculative pathophysiology. The authors treat vitreoretinal surgery as a discipline of extreme tactile precision and real-time fluid dynamics, providing a structured blueprint to help budding ophthalmic surgeons master the control of intraocular pressure, tissue dissection, and posterior segment illumination.

The manual is structurally arranged to mirror the chronological progression of complex vitreoretinal interventions. It opens with basic surgical prerequisites, exploring the mechanical evolution of high-speed cutters, wide-field viewing systems, and the fluidics of 23-gauge and 25-gauge minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery (MIVS). The core narrative then guides the clinician step-by-step through standard vitrectomy procedures, detailing the core vitrectomy, induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), and peripheral vitreous shaving. The subsequent surgical modules dive into challenging posterior segment pathologies, presenting refined techniques for macular hole peeling, epiretinal membrane removal, and the management of tractional retinal detachments in advanced diabetic retinopathy. Each step is heavily supported by high-resolution intraoperative photographs, troubleshooting tips for intraoperative complications, and precise cross-references to the accompanying video discs.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The intellectual collaboration behind this manual brings together two world-renowned pioneers in modern ophthalmic microsurgery. Dr. Jose J. Martinez-Toldos, M.D., Ph.D., is a premier Spanish vitreoretinal specialist, senior clinical researcher, and Head of Ophthalmology at prestigious medical centers in Spain, recognized for his contributions to small-gauge instrumentation. Dr. Jairo E. Hoyos, M.D., Ph.D., is an elite corneal and vitreoretinal surgeon, director of the Hoyos Ophthalmology Institute in Barcelona, and an international educator celebrated for integrating multimedia video teaching into medical pedagogy.

The collective authorial and teaching style of Dr. Martinez-Toldos and Dr. Hoyos is characterized by exceptional structural clarity, absolute procedural directness, and a grounded, peer-to-peer technical tone. Writing with the authoritative focus of veteran mentors who have performed thousands of complex retinal surgeries, they bypass dry academic filler to focus entirely on tactile feedback, entry-site angles, and instrument manipulation. By seamlessly pairing crisp, written clinical pearls with real-time video demonstrations, their collective literature remains a trusted international standard for vitreoretinal fellows, practicing ophthalmologists, and operating theater teams worldwide.
