Wiley-Blackwell Laparo–Endoscopic Surgery

It is now clear that minimally–invasive procedures have become established in the surgical armamentarium and have made a major impact on the speed, cost and recovery time of many operations. Not surprisingly, those at the forefront of surgery are constantly trying to apply minimally–invasive methods to an increasing number of operations. Probably the most useful and versatile of these approaches is laparoscopy. This lavishly illustrated book presents an overview of all the surgical techniques currently possible using the laparoscopic route under endoscopic guidance. The chapters have been written primarily by those who have established themselves as the leading exponents of these techniques. Most of the top names in minimally–invasive surgery are represented in this text; they offer the benefit of their own experiences with each technique and explain their outcomes.
