This is a comprehensive work on the surgical treatment of vitreous, retinal and choroidal diseases. The book is divided into three parts and 40 chapters, discussing the surgical treatment of various diseases from surgical foundation to clinical practice.

The first part discusses the basic knowledge, preoperative examination and surgical equipment and instruments related to the operation of fundus diseases. Laser treatment for fundus diseases and intravitreous injections are also included in this article.

The second part mainly explains the external microsurgery for retinal detachment, which is a new set of theories and surgical techniques for performing external retinal detachment surgery under a microscope.

The third part is vitreous surgery, which comprehensively and systematically introduces the latest advances in micro-incise total vitrectomy surgery techniques and their applications in various fundus disease surgeries. In addition to the commonly used surgical treatment for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, it also includes chapters on vitreous diseases, choroidal detachment, hemorrhagic retinal detachment, vasculitis, uveitis, and high myopia. There are typical surgical cases in nearly all chapters, describing in detail the preparation, surgical design, surgical methods, and surgical results.

This book adopts a combination of text and images, with detailed and systematic explanations from shallow to deep, and uses synchronized surgical videos to clearly demonstrate the basic surgical processes of external microsurgery for retinal detachment and micro-incise total vitrectomy. It is very suitable for ophthalmologists at all levels, medical students in colleges and universities, graduate students, ophthalmology teachers, and researchers.

Editor Wen Liu is a Ph.D. in ophthalmology, professor, chief physician, and master's supervisor. He has engaged ophthalmical clinical work for 43 years, has solid basic knowledge and skills in ophthalmology, especially skilled in surgical treatment of various fundus diseases and complex retinal detachment. He pioneered the technology and theory of external retinal detachment repair under a surgical microscope at home and abroad, bringing this surgical method to the era of microsurgery and significantly improving the success rate of external retinal detachment surgery. Based on years of research on proliferative vitreoretinopathy, the concept of total vitrectomy is defined, and a complete set of techniques and theories of total vitrectomy is summarized, and applied to micro-incise vitrectomy. It has made significant contributions to reducing the complications of vitreous surgery and prominent improving the success rate of surgery in China. Key innovations in vitreoretinal surgery include: A new theory of surgery for proliferative diabetic retinopathy was proposed, which significantly improved the success rate of the surgery. Retinoblastoma of the trans-scleral cryotherapy under a surgical microscope, total vitrectomy in the eye with lens, cryotherapy of retinal breakes and inspection of the inner opening of the scleral puncture hole under the microscope during vitrectomy, and the use of new techniques to remove intraocular hemangiomas, etc. He also was a special expert in the "Thousand Talents Plan" of Sichuan Province in 2017 and a core expert in the "Medical and Health Aid Guizhou Expert Group" hired by the Guizhou Provincial People's Government in 2018.
