Laparoscopic Surgery for Benign Gynaecology Hardback with DVDs (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Advanced Skills)

Laparoscopic surgery brings a range of benefits to patients, resulting in a shorter hospital stay, reduced need for analgesia and a quicker return to normal activity, while the increased visualisation makes some operations less complicated than the open equivalent. This book provides a comprehensive overview of laparoscopic surgery for benign gynaecology and has been designed to reflect the syllabus for the RCOG's Advanced Training Skills Module (ATSM) in 'Advanced laparoscopic surgery for the excision of benign disease'. Two DVDs are included with the book, giving practical examples of some of the techniques. Topics covered include: entry techniques, preoperative imaging, instruments, theatre environment, training and a range of specific laparoscopic techniques.
