Product information Basics of Vitrectomy
Basics of Vitrectomy is a guide for practicing retinal surgeons. Vitreoretinal surgery is an evolving skill that entails a steep learning curve for surgeons and this book is designed to help them in that process. It explains each surgical maneuver through explicit, step-by-step explanations and intra-operative photographs. These photographs have been arranged with care, in a sequential order to make the narrative self-explanatory. In addition to theoretical inputs, the book also includes important explanations related to instrumentation and complications. The book contains 14 chapters covering the history and basics of surgery, management of common diseases like retinal detachment, macular surgery, and diabetic retinopathy, and complex problems like ocular foreign body and retinopathy of prematurity. Each chapter includes surgical tips apart from detailed aspects of each specific case, surgical notes, complications and prognoses. Through this book, the authors have aimed at engaging surgeons in a pictorial journey that clarifies all their basic concepts and questions and helps them in the process of knowledge building.

Thieme offers electronic books in PDF and EPUB formats. For both formats, you need software to display the documents on your reading device. This software is not part of the e-book download.

What is the PDF format?
Adobe PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a standard format in MAC/PC area. Free programs for reading a PDF are available for all common operating systems (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux) and for almost all e-book readers such as e-book readers, tablets or smartphones.

What is the EPUB format?
EPUB (electronic publication) is a standard format for e-books that enables dynamic adaptation of the text to the size of the display device. It is particularly well suited for displaying e-books on tablet PCs, smartphones, and e-book readers.
EPUBs can also be easily displayed on MACs/PCs via the free ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) software, for example.

Is an Internet connection required to read an e-book?
An Internet connection is required only to download the e-book to the reader. Once the download is complete, you can view and read the e-book without an Internet connection.

Are e-books copy-protected?
E-books from Thieme Publishing Group are provided with DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection from Vitalsource

On how many devices can I read the e-book?
You can read an e-book on up to six different (mobile) devices. These devices must be authorized with the same Adobe ID.

Can I exchange/return an e-book?
E-books are products that are not suitable for return due to their nature. Just like downloads of other electronic files (movies, music or software), e-books are excluded from the right of withdrawal. A return or exchange is therefore not possible.
