This manual is a practice-oriented presentation of all the main established laparoscopic interventions, including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, adhesiolysis and emergency laparoscopy. The main techniques used in both North America and Europe are dealt with in detail, and the safety precautions needed to reduce general risks are emphasized. The detailed descriptions of general and specialized surgical techniques are richly illustrated using clear diagrams, mostly in colour, along with numerous intraoperative photographs. The book is designed as a surgical manual, but is also a comprehensive source of help in identifying indications and in managing difficult situations.
