Atlas of Operative Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy

Description

This is an updated new edition of Donnez and Nisolle's internationally renowned, superbly color-illustrated atlas-textbook of laser operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopic surgery, acclaimed by Professor Alan DeCherney as "a classic . . . state of the art, a superb atlas, filled with theory, understanding and wisdom." The introductory section covers laser physics and instrumentation, instrumentation and operational instructions, robotics in endoscopy, and anatomy in relation to gynecological endoscopy. Section I details laser operative laparoscopy in five parts covering endometriosis, including peritoneal endometroisis, tubal and ovarian pathology, uterine and pelvic floor pathology, and oncology. It also presents an especially valuable section on complications in laparoscopy covering identification, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Section II covers operative hysteroscopy in chapters on instrumentation, hysterosonography, Müllerian duct anomalies, vaginoplasty, Müllerian fusion defects, fetal endoscopy, hysteroscopic lysis of intrauterine adhesions, endometrial laser intrauterine thermotherapy, endometrial resection, second-generation technologies for endometrial ablation, hysteroscopic myomectomy, tubal sterilization, and complications of hysteroscopic surgery in gynecology. Beautifully illustrated in full color throughout. Includes bibliographic references and index.
