Operative Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy

An introduction to endoscopic surgery comparing its advantages over traditional surgical methods and outlining both laparoscopic and hysteroscopic approaches. The 26 contributing gynecologists discuss cost justifications, instruments, method techniques, and ways to avoid complications in a variety of cases, including ectopic pregnancy, pelvic adhesions, gamete intrafallopian transfer, office hysterectomy, laser endometrial ablation, and catheterization of the fallopian tube. Each discussion is accompanied by numerous color photographs and diagrams, providing the less experienced physician with a basic foundation of each procedure.
