Reviews

“This is a massive compendium of procedures that can be or are currently done with minimally invasive techniques. … The book is sufficiently clear and well written that all surgeons ‐‐ residents, interns, fellows, and practitioners -- will easily comprehend the teaching points. … chapters are nicely illustrated with line drawings, graphs, charts, and intraoperative photographs of good quality … .” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
