This is the newest and best slide atlas available for teaching and training the very latest techniques of major surgical procedures using laparoscopy. It contains 119 specially selected full-color slides in 14 sections fully covering the complications of operative laparoscopy, laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, transperitoneal and extraperitoneal bladder-neck suspension, douglasectomy, sacrocolpopexy, lymphadenectomy, and other major procedures. "Endoscopy is one of the most important technological innovations to be introduced into our field of practice. Its myriad uses have revolutionized the care of women. . . . Many obstetrics and gynecology residency programs require formal training periods in endoscopy, including evaluation of the appropriateness of the technique and its cost/benefit profile. The intention of this slide atlas is therefore to provide basic teaching material on surgical procedures using laparoscopy as an adjunct to the implementation of such training programs."-Ermelando V.
