Description

The fifth edition of this surgical reference, formerly titled Mastery of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery, sets out minimally invasive procedures in every major area of practice. Chapters written by recognised specialists give step-by-step technical detail for endoscopic, laparoscopic and robotic approaches, grouped by organ system.

Every chapter follows the same template and closes with commentary from the editors and suggested readings, so surgeons can compare techniques across fields. Full-colour illustrations and videos support the text.
