Laparoscopy is one of the standard techniques used by all gynecologic surgeons. This clearly written and beautifully illustrated practical manual describes in detail the technical aspects of both diagnostic and operative laparoscopy and the most useful therapeutic procedures. The exquisitely rendered color drawings demonstrate surgical technique far more effectively than competing photographic atlases. The editors have brought together an internationally renowned group of authors to contribute their knowledge and expertise in the field of laparoscopy. The new edition is a thorough revision and covers all newly emerging techniques and operative equipment.

The book includes chapters on relevant surgical anatomy, principles of MIS, management of camera systems, video/image editing, initiating a successful MIS practice, improving efficiency of current MIS program, how to develop successful teaching techniques in academic setting, avoiding & managing MIS related surgical complications and preoperative/postoperative care before covering MIS for individual conditions including intensive care managements. Chapters are written by world renown authorities. ACOG guideline recently published a statement recommending vaginal hysterectomy and endoscopic hysterectomy should be considered as a first step of surgical choice. Current practice has been shifting from open cases to laparoscopic/ robotic assisted cases while vaginal cases stays steady. This shift has created an urge among gynaecologists to learn, improve or adapt laparoscopic/ robotic techniques in their practice.
