Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery

Practical and easy to use, this superbly illustrated text will provide the trainee with diagnostic and surgical guidance, tips and tricks, and a good solid background to the use of minimally invasive urological surgery techniques.

The editors, all experts in urological laparoscopy, have chosen an elite team, mainly from the USA, to present their practical surgical expertise in a clearly written, instructive book which also includes an extensive section on pediatric operations.

With laparoscopy training now incorporated into many urology training programmes, this is undoubtedly a highly useful and important reference for trainees in the field.
