xiiiThe Proofreaders of the English Edition
Prof. Dr. S Natarajan It was truly a delight to proofread the translated version of this outstand­ing book. I was particularly impressed by the meticulous attention to detail in each chapter and the author's clear focus on the beginner's per­spective. The text is filled with valuable insights and practical wisdom, and I foand myself learn­ing a few new things along the way as well. This book presents a comprehensive guide aimed at both novice and practicing ophthalmic surgeons. It meticulously analyzes and elucidates the prin­ciples and practices of ophthalmic surgery, mak­ing it an essential resource for those seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in this field. The book successfully addresses multiple audi­ences—future surgeons, current practitioners, and even non-surgically active professionals— demonstrating its broad relevance in the medical community. By addressing an evident gap in the literature regarding ophthalmic surgical training and continuing education, this book is a timely contribution to the field. Eye surgery's escalating significance within the broader medical land­scape anderscores the need for such educational resources. The book is a valuable addition to ophthalmology literature, effectively combining theoretical insights and practical advice. Its unique development process through AI-assisted translation could serve as a model for future andertakings in medical education. Overall, this work will andoubtedly benefit its readers by pro­viding essential knowledge and supporting ongo­ing professional development in ophthalmic surgery.
Dr. Lydia Kahgomia Fokunang Njikam This is the book I would have loved to read at the start of my residency training. I strongly recom­mend it to all eye surgeons. It is practical, easy to anderstand and full of tricks to enhance learn­ing. It portrays the rich experience of working in all settings including resource limited settings. It covers essential topics like preoperative care, instruments fluid etc. which seem simple but very important and plays a lot in the outcome of surgery. It is a practical guide for wet lab, simu­lated training and life surgery. Thank you.

This book is aimed equally at female and male doctors as well as female and male assistant staff. Special emphasis was placed on writing all chapters as simply and understandably as pos­sible. To achieve this, given the often already difficult formulations of many details and pro­cedures in the eye surgery field, it was decided to refrain from differentiating between “female/ male/diverse” in the text. The editor hopes for understanding in this regard.
Ophthalmology only emerged as an independ-
ent discipline from surgery in the second half of the 19th century. Since then, the field has rap­idly developed with the introduction of sensitive and powerful diagnostics, evidence-based treat­ment options, and not least through the techni­cal perfection of surgical procedures. What has remained is that surgical activity constitutes a sig­nificant part of ophthalmological work.
It is not uncommon for colleagues, who
later work exclusively in conservative (medical)

ophthalmology in private practice, to express their regret that they never had the opportunity to find out whether they were suited for ophthalmic sur­gery. This results in an obligation for established surgeons, especially those working in clinics, to provide our young colleagues with good surgi­cal training. We should never forget one question: Who will perform our cataract surgery when the time comes?
Every ophthalmologist who supervises candidates in training to become oph­thalmologists will sooner or later be asked: “How can I learn to operate?” At this point, it should be clarified that the question should actually be: “How do I become a good ophthalmic surgeon?!”
Young colleagues who express their willing­ness to invest a high degree of effort and time to become surgeons should be supported on their path! In a time when “work-life balance” is highly valued, increased personal commitment to the medical profession is a very valuable asset. Patients entrust their eyes to the surgeon!

He should always be aware that he has to justify this trust and that many sleepless nights before or after a difficult procedure await him.
An ophthalmologist who wants to become surgically active must be aware that he is tak­ing on a special responsibility that entails an additional time commitment, where financial gain should not be the primary focus!
The approach of starting unprepared with the attitude “Here I am, now teach me how to oper­ate! (This is required in specialist training.)” is doomed to fail. A great deal of personal commit­ment is expected from every “beginner” in surgi­cal activity!
Here, restrictions in the daily routine must
be accepted. A high degree of discipline is nec­essary. As early as 1583, Georg Bartisch once listed his requirements for a cataract surgeon [1]. These are still valid today, at least in part: Thus, “he should not be greedy and arrogant,
not a drunkard, not presumptuous and boastful …” Furthermore, Bartisch states that he should have “fine, subtle, healthy hands and fingers and be nimble with both hands …” And: “Those who cannot use their left hand and must operate the cataract from behind will make the patient
blind … he must be able to draw to obtain instruments.”
There is no question that manual dexterity is a basic prerequisite for gentle and thus success­ful surgery (not only in ophthalmology). To test this, Blakovics [2] recommended the “match­stick test” for the aspiring surgeon (Fig. 1.1).
The beginner should not despair if it does not work the first time! People have different predispo­sitions, but fine motor skills can also be trained. It is often assumed that colleagues who, for example, play the piano, have a preferred suitability for sur­gery. Very few people are absolutely unsuitable for surgical activity due to lack of prior practice. There are many excellent ophthalmic surgeons who have never played a musical instrument themselves. A much higher value is placed on careful and respon­sible approach in the operating room!
It has proven effective to train finger dexterity through regular exercises with Qigong balls, for example (Fig. 1.2).
A particular problem for a young surgeon in the first days of surgery is how to handle it when their hands start to tremble during an operation. This is not unusual! Every surgeon has their own experiences and recommendations with tremors, both as a beginner and as an instructor. The begin­ner should be encouraged at this point that this phenomenon disappears with increasing experi­ence—but often not completely [6]. Although

Five matchsticks lying on the table are picked up one after the other with the ten fingers and held in the air without losing a single one in the process. If some­one performs it flawlessly immediately or after a few attempts, there is hardly anything to be desired regarding the hands. [2]

less common, it can also happen in complicated situations that even an established surgeon’s hand trembles briefly. It is important to remain calm and know how to deal with it. In the early days, it can be helpful to place the instrumenting hand on the second hand (Fig. 1.3) or, if necessary, on the mentor’s hand for reassurance and support [7].
Hans Goldmann is said to have once remarked, “… by nature, I was not manually skilled. Therefore, when operating, I had to carefully consider every step and try to under­stand it rationally …” [4]. This honest state­ment contains a lot of truth and underscores the importance of careful procedure and subtle prep­aration in every surgical intervention.
The surgeon must have a clear strategy
before starting the procedure. An action
that has been performed can rarely be
undone. There must always be a plan for
how to proceed if the course of the opera-
tion deviates from the plan (Sect. 21.1). In
such moments, it is important to remain
calm and not let time pressure arise,
regardless of the length of the remaining
surgical program.
If it is foreseeable in advance that an operation will be more complex and take more time, this should be taken into account from the outset in terms of duration and positioning in the surgical program. Such situations pose a particular chal­lenge for everyone, including the assisting staff, and remain long in the surgeon’s memory. A. Scharrer aptly summarized: “I hardly remember
details of cataract surgeries that last 10 minutes, but very well those that took an hour or longer.
Therefore, the student should adopt a fun­damental trait: patience! This applies primar­ily to every procedure. Haste does not pay off; it increases the risk of complications, thereby prolonging the surgery and leading to a worse surgical outcome! This require­ment can be applied to the entire training. Impatience is a poor advisor here! The German Ophthalmological Society recommendation for quality assurance of surgical procedures in ophthalmology includes a catalog that an oph­thalmologist should complete if they want to operate independently. This catalog serves only as a guideline, as it is clear that everyone fol­lows an individual path in their training and must responsibly decide on their surgical activi­ties, because “Patient safety is the top priority for the DOG. This applies especially to patients

who must undergo surgical procedures.” [3]. Thomas Neuhann aptly summarizes that an oph­thalmologist aspiring to a surgical career should carefully consider whether they can realistically expect to perform a sufficiently high number (however high one may set it) of procedures to become, be, and remain good … or, as the Americans so nicely say, “An occasional sur­geon will never be a really good surgeon.”
In ophthalmic surgery, we learn some­thing new every day! We only get better if we constantly analyze our own proce­dures and ask ourselves, “What can I do better next time to optimally care for my patients?”
From this, a very important guiding principle can be derived: After the procedure is always before the procedure! This includes a self-crit­ical error culture. This means that in the event of problems or complications, the surgeon must first look for the cause in themselves and not in the team. The doctor is always responsible for everything, including logistics and preoperative preparation! For postoperative analysis, it has proven useful, especially in the early days, to record the procedures on video and then calmly evaluate them—also together with the mentor. This confirms the basic prerequisite for success­ful surgical training in ophthalmology: a fair partnership between the learner and the instruc­tor. This includes the mentor continuously accompanying their student on their path, i.e., not only guiding them but also preventing mis­takes and overcoming complications together. It is important to motivate the beginner, sometimes also to slow them down, so that they are not frustrated by seemingly insurmountable hurdles and give up. If problems arise intraoperatively or complications occur, the mentor takes over the procedure or guides the inexperienced surgeon in continuing, depending on the situation. This requires respectful interaction, which should not be limited to the training period. In the future, collegial exchange can also be very helpful in
planning procedures or introducing innovations in both directions. Surgical training also means an additional burden of time, effort, and logistics for the teacher. Therefore, every student should treat their mentor with respect in the future, as already written in the “Hippocratic Oath.”
Working in the operating room is always a team effort. Coordination with the anesthetist is indispensable, which is also a part of the train­ing. Therefore, this concern has been appropri­ately considered (Chap. 9).
The same applies to coordination with the assistant staff. Here, everyone must rely on each other and be able to assess each other’s actions during a procedure. Typically, the first “steps” of an ophthalmic surgeon are accompanied by experienced OR staff who provide important advice. For beginners, special importance is placed on instruction in sterile work in the eye OR (Chap. 3). Every hint is important here and should be strictly observed. For example, after theoretical engagement with instrument knowl­edge (Chap. 5), practical instruction by an assis­tant experienced in many procedures helps to facilitate understanding (Fig. 1.4).
The entire team should jointly pay attention to the responsible use of disposables. This way, the newcomer in the OR can be introduced early to cost awareness and environmental conserva­tion in the OR process.
It is also beneficial for the aspiring surgeon to take on the position of the assistant staff during procedures under guidance. This contributes to a better understanding of the process flows and the activities of the OR team. Thus, the aspiring surgeon can gain a good overview of the instru­ments and medical products used in the respec­tive operation (Fig. 1.5).
The assistant staff can also provide valuable tips when “getting to know” the technology in the eye OR, especially the operating micro­scope, the phaco device, as well as the surgeon’s chair and the OR table (Chap. 4).
In principle, every beginner should be instructed in the use of the device by a compe­tent representative of the manufacturer. This instruction must be documented. The service technicians are specially trained for this purpose.
