Opis

A compendium written by world leaders in laparoscopic urology from various teaching urological institutions in the US and UK who have contributed their tips and tricks in performing the various urologic procedures. Each topic is limited to a few pages to produce a small and easy-to-read book. The book is extensively illustrated with line diagrams which are self-explanatory and greatly enhance the understanding various techniques, such as position of laparoscopic ports or technique of throwing a laparoscopic stitch. Essential for urology residents, fellows, and practicing urologists, the book provides information that will be extremely useful in the performance of routine and advanced laparoscopic surgery, as well as when particular situations or difficult moments are encountered during surgery.
