Prac Laparoscopic Surg Gen Surgeon

A practical explanation of laparoscopic procedures, providing a guide for surgeons experienced in these techniques and for those learning them. Surgeons in the field from Europe and North America contribute chapters that describe surgical procedures where patients benefit more from laparoscopy than from traditional open surgery. Chapters are enhanced with illustrations, not only of the techniques involved for procedures such as appendectomy, esophageal resection, or pulmonary surgery, but also of the equipment which is used in such procedures.
