Comprehensive Operative Gynecology

A comprehensive guide to modern gynecologic surgery, combining surgical principles, advanced techniques, and evidence-based operative management

Comprehensive Operative Gynecology: A Practical Guide to Hysterectomy, Laparoscopy, Robotic Surgery, Pelvic Floor Reconstruction, Oncology, and Reproductive Surgery provides a complete and clinically focused approach to the principles, techniques, and innovations shaping contemporary gynecologic surgery.

This textbook guides readers from foundational surgical anatomy and perioperative preparation to advanced operative procedures, minimally invasive techniques, complex pelvic reconstruction, gynecologic oncology, and emerging surgical technologies.

Beginning with pelvic anatomy, embryology, surgical principles, patient optimization, instrumentation, and energy devices, the book establishes the essential knowledge required for safe and effective operative practice. It then progresses through major areas of gynecologic surgery, including hysterectomy, adnexal procedures, endometriosis surgery, uterine reconstruction, cervical procedures, pelvic floor repair, urinary incontinence surgery, and fertility-preserving interventions.

Key topics include:

• Surgical anatomy of the female pelvis and principles of operative technique
• Preoperative evaluation, risk assessment, anesthesia considerations, and patient optimization
• Laparoscopic surgery, robotic platforms, advanced energy systems, and surgical technologies
• Abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic hysterectomy techniques
• Ovarian, tubal, adnexal, and ectopic pregnancy surgery
• Endometriosis diagnosis, staging, excision, and complex deep infiltrating disease management
• Myomectomy, hysteroscopy, metroplasty, and uterine reconstructive procedures
• Cervical surgery including LEEP, conization, and cervical cerclage
• Pelvic floor reconstruction, prolapse repair, mesh considerations, and urogynecologic procedures
• Gynecologic oncology including staging, lymphadenectomy, sentinel node mapping, and cytoreductive surgery
• Vulvar, vaginal, and reconstructive surgery
• Fertility preservation and reproductive surgical techniques
• Emergency gynecologic surgery and management of operative complications
• Bowel surgery principles in complex gynecologic procedures
• Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways and perioperative optimization
• Surgical simulation, training, credentialing, and future innovations in gynecologic surgery

Designed for gynecologic surgeons, obstetrician-gynecologists, surgical fellows, residents, medical students, and healthcare professionals, this first edition integrates traditional surgical principles with modern minimally invasive approaches and future-focused innovations.

With emphasis on anatomy, surgical decision-making, technical excellence, patient safety, and evidence-based practice, Comprehensive Operative Gynecology serves as a valuable reference for clinicians seeking to understand and perform contemporary gynecologic surgical procedures.

A practical resource for mastering the principles, techniques, and future directions of operative gynecology.
