Essential Urologic Laparoscopy: The Complete Clinical Guide

by Stephen Y. Nakada (Editor)

Overview

Leading academic urologists and physicians detail how to perform the major adult urologic laparoscopic procedures. The authors offer clear, concise chapters focusing on getting started, laparoscopic instrumentation, and step-by-step procedural adult laparoscopy. The instrumentation chapter is completely cross-referenced so that operating room and hospital personnel can use the book as a comprehensive reference guide for most laparoscopic procedures. The procedures range from the simple to the advanced and include the transperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and hand-assisted approaches to laparoscopic radical nephrectomy-the gold standard for most renal pathology.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This book is an up-to-date, well-organised and comprehensive reference for urological laparoscopy. … the book is easy to read. … will appeal to trainees, established urologists who are converting to laparoscopy and those who undertake this procedure on a regular basis. It may also be useful to anaesthetists and surgeons in other specialties performing laparoscopy. … Overall, this is an authoritative and balanced book, which would be of use to any urologist, especially those with an interest in the field of laparoscopy.” (Jyoti Shah, Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, March, 2011)
