Atlas Of Laparoscopic Surgical Technique

This atlas is composed of 28 chapters with authoritative commentaries and illustrations in a number of surgical procedures amenable to laparoscopic techniques. It is hoped that this atlas will simplify and organize surgical thought for the advanced laparoscopist.

A step by step description of key laparoscopic procedures with critical stages accompanied by a colour photograph and line drawing to clarify the techniques involved. The common pitfalls associated with each procedure are highlighted and guidance given on how to avoid them.

Written by recognized experts in this fast-changing field, this highly practical text by Drs. Jay T. Bishoff, Louis R. Kavoussi, and David A. Leavitt has been completely revised and greatly expanded to cover what you need to know about today’s laparoscopic and robotic technology and techniques. Atlas of Laparoscopic and Robotic Urologic Surgery is a concise, thorough, superbly illustrated reference, perfect for learning new techniques or briefly reviewing before a case. You’ll be guided through today’s best minimally invasive approaches using new surgical systems and equipment, including third- and fourth-generation robotic devices. Step-by-step illustrations, tips and tricks, and information on complications helps you sharpen your skills in this high-demand area. Consult this title on your favorite e-reader, conduct rapid searches, and adjust font sizes for optimal readability. Twenty brand-new chapters on camera and lens systems, instrumentation, the da Vinci surgical system, pyelo/ureterolithotomy, robotic-assisted and laparoscopic simple prostatectomy, and more. Completely revised and updated chapters on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and endoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection for penile cancer. More than 30 high-quality videos online (24 are brand new), including robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, robotic assisted kidney transplantation, robotic simple prostatectomy, robotic cystectomy and robotic neobladder evolution, laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy, and many more. Cutting-edge topics including matured techniques for nephron sparing surgery, state-of-the-art nerve sparing for radical robotic prostatectomy, innovative approaches to treat ureteral strictures, up-to-date surgical care of malignancies, and novel pediatric surgeries.

This atlas describes and illustrates in detail the surgical procedures employed in laparoscopic anatomical liver resection, according to tumor location. The surgical approach and techniques are explained for each type of laparoscopic liver resection based on the involved anatomical segment, section, and hemi-liver. Attention is also drawn to potential complications and the means of preventing and managing them. Beyond anatomical liver resection, guidance is provided on non-anatomical resections that do not pay regard to segmental, sectional, or lobar anatomy. The coverage is completed by the inclusion of useful information on instruments and energy devices as well as the basic skills required for laparoscopic liver resection. In presenting a clear practical approach to each laparoscopic anatomical major and minor resection, the Color Atlas of Laparoscopic Liver Resection will be an invaluable guide for trainees. In addition, it will equip more experienced surgeons with much useful information that will enable them to further improve their technique.

An eminently professional and well designed atlas representing the experience of 36 surgeons predominantly based at Duke University Medical Center, a leading laparoscopic center. The chapters provide authoritative commentary, illustrations, and surgical technique for 28 procedures including anatomical, pathophysiological, and differential diagnostic features. Each surgical subject is graphically illustrated in color drawings depicting stages of the procedure. Distributed by Churchill Livingstone. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This atlas provides sequential pictures for most existing reconstructive urology procedures. Though the use of technology is described, the book has been constructed in such a way that urologists from all countries will be able to pickup the technical tips to perform the laparoscopic procedures using simplified devices.

Due to recent advances in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, a high-resolution atlas in this field was felt necessary. This book describes the laparoscopic surgical procedure and precautions of lymph node (LN) dissection, comprehensively. The details of preoperative preparation, regional LN dissection, and digestive tract reconstruction are introduced based on a large numbers of clinical cases. Modified intracorporeal anastomosis procedure and clinical application of indo cyanine green (ICG) in LN dissection are included. This atlas will be of benefit to gastrointestinal surgeons, surgical oncologists, and minimally invasive surgeons.

Operative urology has evolved in recent years to include laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgical procedures, which have resulted in significant improvements in quality of life-related outcome. Nevertheless, training methods in urologic laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery vary considerably, and a structured training scheme is required to enable the modern urologist to adapt to and make optimal use of these techniques. Accordingly, the main goal of this surgical atlas is to guide the urologist carefully through all the standard laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures. Each procedure is presented in detail with numerous supporting endoscopic images and diagrams. The reader is thereby acquainted with the different surgical steps and will acquire the knowledge necessary for reliable reproduction of the techniques in clinical practice.

This second edition of Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery, Techniques and Tips represents a comprehensive description of the current laparoscopic techniques. It supplies surgeons with all the information necessary to successfully accomplish laparoscopic surgery. It is a hands-on manual that helps the surgeon avoid pitfalls and acquire the necessary laparoscopic skills quickly and efficiently. It is a ready source of practical help when trouble-shooting is necessary. Advanced laparoscopic surgery is an excellent merger of a textbook and atlas for the surgeon who wants to extend and refine his laparoscopic techniques.
