Description

Laparoscopy is one of the standard techniques used by all gynecologic surgeons. This clearly written and beautifully illustrated practical manual describes in detail the technical aspects of both diagnostic and operative laparoscopy and the most useful therapeutic procedures. The exquisitely rendered color drawings demonstrate surgical technique far more effectively than competing photographic atlases. The editors have brought together an internationally renowned group of authors to contribute their knowledge and expertise in the field of laparoscopy. The new edition is a thorough revision and covers all newly emerging techniques and operative equipment.
