About this book
Reviews
“This brief handbook focuses on the setting and choreography for common laparoscopic operations. … The book seems most appropriate for operating room nurses, scrub technologist residents, and surgical trainees. … The book is logically divided, covering a broad topic in manageable subject areas by organ system or surgical specialty.” (Patrick W. McGonagill, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2016)
