title: Surgical management of retinopathy of prematurity.
abstract: The surgical treatment and management of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) has evolved significantly over the last decade. The introduction of new techniques, instrumentation, and surgical adjuvants has added to the repertoire of options vitreoretinal surgeons have to treat complex surgical ROP cases. This chapter focuses on a review of the clinical outcomes, indications, techniques, and adjuncts for the surgical treatment of ROP.
