Advanced Gynecologic Laparoscopy: A Practical Guide

This is a practical atlas-text with exceptionally fine color illustrations on the latest techniques in gynecologic laparoscopy. It covers the anatomy and techniques of laparoscopy, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy, endoscopic incontinence surgery, and operative laparoscopy in gynecologic oncology. It also provides critical analyses of today's state-of-the-art in gynecologic laparoscopy and describes training in endoscopic surgery. "The list of contributors is an impressive one. Drawing experts from both sides of the Atlantic, Drs. Cusumano and Deprest have coordinated the presentations so as to emphasize that alternative ways exist to accomplish a single goal. The illustrations, critical for a technical treatise, include both line drawings and operative photographs, and are of uniformly high quality. But this is not just a book of operative technique. More than anything else, it is a summary of the state-of-the-art of operative laparoscopy in 1995." - R.M. Pitkin, M.D.
