About this book

Difficult Conditions in Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery outlines potential situations faced by those using laparoscopy and provides solutions for difficult conditions. Extensively and thoroughly written by experts in the field, Difficult Conditions in Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery enables the practising surgeon to confront and resolve dilemmas before even having entered the operating theatre. In this book, every urologic procedure is described using a step-by-step sequence of events and the text is supplemented with numerous tips, colored illustrations and high definition photographs depicting the main steps of the procedures. With a problem-oriented approach, Difficult Conditions in Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery is a valuable reference source for residents, fellows and general urologists.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book illustrates various common laparoscopic procedures and the potential difficulties laparoscopic surgeons could encounter. … The intended audience includes residents, fellows, and beginning laparoscopic urologists. … this book would be appropriate for urologists with either minimal or significant laparoscopic experience. … It addresses those at the beginner’s level as well as those with significant experience, and it differs from other books of its kind in the way it directly addresses challenging situations and offers practical solutions.” (Scott Gabriel Hubosky, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2012)
