<B>From the foreword:</B> <B>"Microsurgery of Retinal Detachment</B> is an important contribution to the practice of vitreoretinal surgery. In this comprehensive volume, Dr. Bonnet shares her
extensive experience in the management of conditions ranging from retinal tears and primary retinal detachment to giant retinal breaks and vitreoretinal surgery. The field of microsurgery has continued to evolve over the last
twenty years, both for the anterior segment surgeon and, since 1970, for the vitreoretinal surgeon. Although there have been extensive descriptions of vitrectomy techniques, little has been written about microsurgical
techniques for scleral buckling operations. This subject is well covered in the present edition, which consequently will be a valuable resource to the majority of retinal surgeons who do not as a rule employ microsurgery in
the repair of retinal detachments."
