Oxford University Press Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a developing country was performed by Dr T E Udwadia and his team in 1990. Convinced of the greatly beneficial aspects of this procedure, especially in developing countries, Dr Udwadia has put his experience into writing. The work describes in detail the entire operative procedure, with the help of endoscopic colour photographs. It has particular relevance to developing countries, as the author has evolved his own technique and innovations in the use of equipment and materials. The book will serve as a useful manual for any surgeon interested in the rapidly advancing field of laparoscopic surgery.
