Practical Manual for Laparoscopic & Hysteroscopic Gynecological Surgery

A unique guide to operative decision-making techniques in female endoscopic pelvic surgery, this new edition is a landmark in the realm of gynecological endoscopy. It is divided into four sections: basics and anatomical aspects of endoscopic surgery, specific gynecological laparoscopic procedures, specific hysteroscopic procedures, and complications in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. After basic aspects in Section 1, the main chapters in Sections 2 and 3 deal with step-by-step laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. The fourth section explains complication and is important for the management of the gynecologist whose surgical background may not include gastrointestinal or urinary tract surgery. Although the book has been written for gynecologic residents-in-training and practising gynecologists, it is also of use to general surgeons who perform gynecologic operations and to all physicians who perform ambulatory gynecologic procedures. Covers the entire gamut of gynecologic surgery. Provides practical advice on the correct implementation of the minimal invasive surgical procedures. Describes the anatomy, preoperative evaluation, surgical strategy, techniques and instruments, postoperative management, results, and complications. Interaction with urologists and general surgeons are detailed. Discusses injuries to the adjacent organs, such as bowel, urinary system, and pelvic vessels. Tips and Tricks have been provided for individual surgical procedures. Enriched with diagrams, tables and clinical photographs.
