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.

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.

This book initiates the descriptions of the practical performance of different hysterectomies with conventional and robotically assisted laparoscopy, laparotomy and vaginal surgery. Laparoscopic hysterectomy has been out as an additional technique for hysterectomies for the last couple of decades. As the necessary light, augmentation and advanced skill has only been introduced into this already 200 year old surgical procedure within the last few decades by laparoscopy, the editors aim to look at the laparoscopic procedures followed by the traditional techniques of hysterectomy with laparotomy and vaginal surgery.
