Reviews
Cataract Surgery – Pearls and Techniques provides a uniquely holistic approach to the procedure, by exploring topics such as patient safety, surgical timing, anaesthesia options, risk assessment, surgical workflow and efficiency, and carbon footprint and sustainability. This textbook also strives to more deliberately consider the cataract patient’s perspective. How can we best understand and address our patients’ fears and expectations, optimize their comfort, and improve their overall experience? Finally, exploring the best ways to learn cataract surgery impacts on how we can individually improve, as well as how we should be training the next generation of cataract surgeons. The editors have selected an outstanding faculty of international experts to write about each of these subjects. Many of these authors are past fellows and colleagues of Professor Liu. Like symphony conductors, the editors orchestrate these components into a comprehensive and purposeful roadmap for cataract surgeons.
Overall, this insightful textbook captures the essence and the many benefits of doing a surgical fellowship with a leading mentor. Clinical fellows not only learn surgical tips and pearls, but get to observe how the expert counsels and communicates with patients, how they organize their operating room schedule and workflow, and how they make decisions such as when to operate, what refractive IOL to use, and how to assess surgical risk. Cataract Surgery – Pearls and Techniques is a thought provoking and practical resource for both novice and advanced cataract surgeons alike. Most importantly, it will help us to become not only better surgical technicians, but also better physicians.
