Publisher's Synopsis
Few fields in medicine have experienced as explosive an increase in knowledge and techniques as endoscopy and in particular, gynecologic laparoscopy. Just a few short years ago the formal teaching of laparoscopy in residency programs was virtually non-existent. Even today, the instruction in this modality of surgery can be inconsistent. Many gynecologists finish training with only a minimal exposure to the multiple procedures that are rapidly becoming the standards of care. Designed in a special "cookbook" format for easy reading and optimum comprehension, A Practical Manual of Laparoscopy: A Clinical Cookbook details basic concepts as well as advanced procedures.
The book covers the entire field from pelvic anatomy to advanced bowel and cancer surgery. Expert graphic artistry combined with computer-enhanced photographs present technically detailed drawings of unmatched quality. These drawings are clear and easily followed and they supply the optimal information regarding the various procedures they describe. With its state-of-the-art graphics and easy-to-use format, A Practical Manual of Laparoscopy: A Clinical Cookbook is a complete and comprehensive resource for new laparoscopists and a valuable reference for seasoned professionals.
