"This manual provides an excellent source of practical information for both junior and experienced laparoscopic surgeons. Like a mentor, it demonstrates every laparoscopic technique in a clear and didactic way with helpful hints and expert advice. This first chapter introduces the reader to the basics of laparoscopy, including the physiological effects of pneumoperitoneum, technical considerations, and a checklist of equipment. It provides step-by-step instructions for the correct handling and introduction of laparoscopic instruments and illustrates basic and advanced suturing techniques. The book also describes urological surgical procedures in detail, thoroughly supported by nearly 400 high-definition figures and up-to-date reference lists."--BOOK JACKET.
