Applied Pathology for Ophthalmic Microsurgeons. This item is unavailable.Applied Pathology for Ophthalmic Microsurgeons

Written and edited by the world-famous expert G.O.H. Naumann, this textbook is the first and only on the subject. It delves into the details of ocular structures such as the nuances of morphology, surgical anatomy and pathology. The text covers unique features of intraocular surgery in closed system and open eye contexts. It goes on to cover crucial aspects of restoring the anterior chamber, including the role of blood-ocular barriers and paracenthesis effects. Then it delineates the spectrum of potential complications in (pseudo-) exfoliation-syndromes as well as the most vulnerable cell populations. Readers are also treated to the features of normal and pathologic wound healing after non-mechanical laser and mechanical inventions. Brilliant artwork and sketches illustrate the complex pathology.
