Publisher's Synopsis
Principles of Endosurgery provides a basic understanding of the new endoscopic techniques and procedures being adopted by surgeons in an effort to reduce costs and reduce morbidity and mortality. The editors, Kevin Loughlin and David Brooks, of Harvard University, structured the volume as a training guide discussing basic techniques such as suturing and stapling, instrumentation and anesthetic considerations. The text provides a view of a wide range of endoscopic procedures including biliary surgery, nephrectomy, thoracic procedures, bowel and node resections, hernia repair as well as a multitude of pediatric procedures. This is an essential reference for anyone planning to learn endocropic and laparoscopic techniques or for anyone needing a detailed guide to these topics.
