This full-color atlas is a step-by-step pictorial guide to all laparoscopic general surgery procedures--laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic management of peptic ulcer, laparoscopic left colon resection, and laparoscopic herniorrhaphy. Written by the surgeons who invented and perfected these techniques and developed the world's leading laparoscopic training programs, the book is a practical working manual for general surgeons undertaking these new procedures.Clear full-color photographs demonstrate each step of each operation, and easy-to-follow text and legends thoroughly explain each surgical maneuver. The presentation is organized so that the surgeon can review a procedure preoperatively or use the atlas intraoperatively as a ready reference. The authors offer valuable advice on how to avoid common pitfalls and handle frequently encountered surgical problems.Note: A set of 140 full-color slides of illustrations from this book is also available.
