This is a new edition of one of the modern classics of gynecological surgery. Providing an extensive and beautifully illustrated guide to laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques, the book has been extensively revised and updated since publication of the Second Edition. There are few texts that so adequately provide in-depth information on minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery. This informative and thorough work of reference provides both practicing surgeons and trainees with an atlas, a textbook of gynecology, and a surgical manual. The coverage is comprehensive, including extensive sections on gynaecologic oncology, urogynecology, basic principles, and instrumentation. Complications are highlighted with authoritative guidance on how to avoid and manage them.

Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed major gynaecological operation. This book describes in detail how to perform the procedure laparoscopically, including laparoscopic removal of the ovaries. Particular attention is paid to instrumentation and equipment and to the avoidance of complications. It should enable gynaecologists to keep pace with the trend towards less invasive surgery.

Comprehensive Video Atlas of Laparoscopic Surgery in Infertility and Gynecology is an extensive video atlas featuring 74 videos which provide instruction on a wide range of laparoscopic procedures. Includes nearly ten hours of video across eight DVDs, with later videos covering special surgery topics such as microsurgery and robotic surgery, and the emerging field of cosmetic gynaecology.

Since its introduction in the 1980s, the use of endoscopic surgery in gynecology has grown tremendously, its equipment improved, and methods refined. Today it is clear that the future of gynecologic surgery lies in the realm of minimally invasive techniques. An Atlas of Operative Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy, Second Edition is not just a how-to-do-the-surgery book, but also a guide to the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of the urogynecological area. 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.
