Description
The most comprehensive guide available to this cutting edge field! This book gives surgeons the precise, highly-detailed instructions they need to perform laparoscopy - a less invasive alternative to surgery in which small incisions to the body are made with microscopic tools. Unlike other books, which present only one author's technique, this is a broad-based work that examines all of the latest developments in the field. The editors and contributors, who together form a veritable who's who of laparoscopy, cover the entire obstetrics and gynaecology field. Their advice on safety and prevention of complications can be found throughout the book. The book's colour photographs were designed to complement the video display which surgeons rely on for this type of surgery, and line drawings provide additional guidance on technique. Features: * Excellent photos and illustrations * Concise details of advanced techniques * Features descriptions on indications and contraindications
