Atlas Of Difficult Gynecological Surgery

Covering various difficult surgeries encountered in daily gynecological practice and providing unique insights into operative gynecology, this atlas offers an essential learning guide for gynecologists. Standard gynecological surgeries may turn out to be extremely complex on the operating table; this atlas demonstrates how the operating gynecologist can manage such procedures successfully without causing any injuries. For each surgery, it includes a series of color photographs accompanied by descriptive step by step notes, explaining to the readers the surgical steps and the problems that might occur if the dissection is not performed correctly. Helping readers understand and visualize the textbook descriptions of gynecological surgeries, the atlas offers a valuable resource for postgraduate students and fellows of obstetrics and gynecology, as well as senior practicing gynecologists, urologists and surgeons.

Knowledge of and experience with the basic technique of vaginal hysterectomy is not univers al. Each surgeon must learn to identify and appreciate the dimensions of individual variation in anatomic findings and therefore surgical technical decisions and their execu tion from one patient to another. Unexpected surgical difficulty can be predicted, but ultimately it is dealt with retrospectively. Skilled practitioners must study the particular patient and her problem comprehensively and allow for such individual variations in find ings and technical needs as are necessary to the surgical solution for that patient's problem. Recognizing these factors, Drs. Hoffman and Spellacy have orga nized and prepared a comprehensive monograph concerning this very real clinical entity. They have reviewed the experience of con temporary surgeons and blended these recommendations with their own experience in a useful compendium of surgical knowledge about this important subject. Their monograph is recommended not as a replacement for the many other fine surgical texts available to the reader but as a supplement to the surgeon's library. It is for those surgeons who, having mastered the basic techniques, are in terested in extending the frontiers of personal knowledge of this provocative subject and safely broadening the indications for effec tive surgery and reconstruction.

Telinde's Atlas of Gynecologic Surgery helps both the gynecologist in training and those already in practice to master this field. The text provides clear and detailed, step-by-step descriptions involved in performing techniques. Each prose is accompanied by meticulous, colorized drawings to maximize the surgeons' understanding of the technique. Included with the text, is access to an online site. The online site provides fully searchable text and narrated videos from most chapters to demonstrate the techniques anytime, anywhere. While specialists perform many of the procedures included in this text each year, in general practices these procedures are done relatively infrequently and consequently, these surgeons look for means to refresh their memories prior to performing them. This text will also serve as a treasured resource for new surgeons and residents who are just incorporating these procedures into their surgical repertoire.
