Today it is clear that the future of gynecologic surgery lies in the realm of minimally invasive techniques.

Thoroughly updated to reflect advances in methods and technology, the book covers established techniques such as laparoscopic tubal anastomosis, endometrial ablation, and ovarian surgery, to cite just a few. It pays special attention to emerging procedures and technologies, including the use of robotics and the treatment of carcinoma. Of particular importance is the section on complications, which shows you how to recognize and avoid potential pitfalls. With more than 850 illustrations, most in full color, An Atlas of Operative Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy, Second Edition is informative and thorough. As a reference, as a text, and as a surgical manual, it provides the grounding in current and emerging surgical techniques you need to stay at the top of your field.
