Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled “Recent Advances in Vitreoretinal Surgery: 2nd Edition”. We successfully published nine papers in the first edition; for more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/advances_vitreoretinal_surgery.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed a number of key advances in vitreoretinal surgery, ranging from surgical instrumentation to innovative techniques in vitreoretinal surgery. Highlights include improved fluidics, 3D visualization, small-gauge instrumentation, intraoperative OCT, the subretinal delivery of gene therapy, and autologous retinal transplantation, among others. These advances have facilitated the management of complex situations, including, but not limited to, complex retinal detachments, recurrent and persistent macular holes, inherited retinal diseases, and chorioretinal biopsies. This Special Issue will showcase a combination of original research articles and review papers.
Highlighted topics will include the following:
- New instrumentation and intraoperative visualization;
- New techniques in vitreoretinal surgeries;
- Surgery for complex vitreoretinal diseases;
- Surgery for pediatric vitreoretinal diseases.
