Atlas of Laparoscopic Gynecological Anatomy

This book allows readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of gynecological surgical anatomy from a laparoscopic perspective. In recent years, with the growing number of gynecological surgical procedures performed by laparoscopy, many surgeons are faced with a “new” anatomy, not yet presented in traditional books. Addressing this gap in the literature and written in a colloquial style, this book presents much-needed information, especially regarding the spaces and the vessels, as well as numerous surgical tips and tricks. Focusing on retroperitoneal dissection, gynecological oncology and endometriosis, the book is intended for surgeons (gynecologists, urologists, general surgeons and others) interested in performing advanced pelvic surgery, offering them insights into how to transfer their knowledge of the traditional open surgery anatomy to the laparoscopic anatomy. Further, the book addresses 2D visualization and changes in the angle of visualization. The Atlas of Laparoscopic Gynecological Anatomy includes photos, surgical videos, drawings and figures to help readers quickly grasp the new concepts and to enhance the teaching power of the text.
