Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery: Evidence-Based Laparoscopic, Hysteroscopic & Robotic Surgeries


Book Description

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery provides a complete, practical and timely review of the minimally invasive surgical techniques used to treat gynaecologic diseases and conditions. Recent advances in technology and instrumentation, particularly the use of robot-assisted surgery, mean that minimally invasive approaches have become increasingly established as alternatives to traditional open surgeries. This book describes the full range of minimally invasive procedures in current gynaecologic practice, with discussion of the indications and contraindications and a summary of available evidence. The book opens with a section describing instrumentation, electrosurgery, how to avoid and manage complications and single port surgery. Subsequent sections cover procedures for benign and malignant conditions and relevant robotically assisted surgeries. Highly structured chapters provide practical guidance to key steps of each procedure, alternative management options; contraindications and available evidence Stellar contributors from leading centers in the USA, Brazil, Chile, Canada, France, Italy and Belgium ensure coverage reflects global best practice




Practical Manual of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic and Robotic Surgery


Book Description

This third edition has been extensively updated to provide the gynecologic surgeon with a state-of-the-art and practical resource that can be used to review or learn about commonly performed surgical procedures in minimally invasive gynecology. To meet the needs of both novice and experienced surgeons, the text is engineered to cover the clinical decision-making, key instrumentation, and technical cascade for each surgical procedure. Wherever possible, discussion is focused on methods to optimize outcome and reduce risk. The content in this latest edition has been substantially bolstered by the addition of chapters covering vaginal hysterectomy, tissue retrieval in laparoscopic surgery, single port laparoscopy, robotic hysterectomy, robotic myomectomy, robotic sacralcolpopexy, radical robotic hysterectomy, and hemostatic agents for laparoscopic surgery.




Minimally Invasive Surgery in Gynecological Practice


Book Description

Gynaecological practice has changed fundamentally in the last three decades and a large proportion of major pelvic operations has been replaced by minimally invasive approaches. This book will cover minimally invasive approaches in all aspects of gynaecology including general gynaecology, oncology, urogynaecology and reproductive medicine. The chapters are written at a level appropriate for trainees/residents and general gynaecology specialists but enough details and additional resources will be provided for those who require further information. Specific aim of the book is to provide direct to the point surgical pearls which can be adapted to the daily practice instantly by the target audience. The book includes chapters on relevant surgical anatomy, principles of MIS, management of camera systems, video/image editing, initiating a successful MIS practice, improving efficiency of current MIS program, how to develop successful teaching techniques in academic setting, avoiding & managing MIS related surgical complications and preoperative/postoperative care before covering MIS for individual conditions including intensive care managements. Chapters are written by world renown authorities. ACOG guideline recently published a statement recommending vaginal hysterectomy and endoscopic hysterectomy should be considered as a first step of surgical choice. Current practice has been shifting from open cases to laparoscopic/ robotic assisted cases while vaginal cases stays steady. This shift has created an urge among gynaecologists to learn, improve or adapt laparoscopic/ robotic techniques in their practice.




A Practical Manual of Laparoscopy and Minimally Invasive Gynecology


Book Description

Laparoscopy is one of the standard techniques used by all gynecologic surgeons. This clearly written and beautifully illustrated practical manual describes in detail the technical aspects of both diagnostic and operative laparoscopy and the most useful therapeutic procedures. The exquisitely rendered color drawings demonstrate surgical technique far more effectively than competing photographic atlases. The editors have brought together an internationally renowned group of authors to contribute their knowledge and expertise in the field of laparoscopy. The new edition is a thorough revision and covers all newly emerging techniques and operative equipment.




Hysterectomy


Book Description

This book initiates the descriptions of the practical performance of different hysterectomies with conventional and robotically assisted laparoscopy, laparotomy and vaginal surgery. Laparoscopic hysterectomy has been out as an additional technique for hysterectomies for the last couple of decades. As the necessary light, augmentation and advanced skill has only been introduced into this already 200 year old surgical procedure within the last few decades by laparoscopy, the editors aim to look at the laparoscopic procedures followed by the traditional techniques of hysterectomy with laparotomy and vaginal surgery.




A Manual of Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery


Book Description

Edited by an internationally recognised team of gynaecology experts, A Manual of Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery is a highly illustrated resource for obstetrics and gynaecology professionals, presenting current techniques in the field. The book is comprised of 25 chapters organised into six sections, covering the basics of gynaecological surgery, laparoscopy, special situations for minimally invasive approach, possible complications of this type of surgery, and hysteroscopy. Beginning with information on the equipment used for performing minimally invasive procedures, and guidance on access in laparoscopy, the book continues with discussion on the anatomy of the female pelvis as seen through a laparoscope and provides guidance on laparoscopic suturing, tissue retrieval and anaesthesia in laparoscopy. Subsequent chapters describe specific applications of minimally invasive surgery in gynaecology, and the diagnosis and management of complications is also included. Enhanced by 300 full colour images, illustrations and tables, and complemented by a DVD-ROM providing an ABC of hysterectomy and guidance on myomectomy, A Manual of Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to this area of surgery. Key Points Highly illustrated, comprehensive guide to minimally invasive surgery in gynaecology Internationally recognised editorial team from Germany and India 300 full colour images, illustrations and tables Includes DVD-ROM on hysterectomy and myomectomy




Uterine Myoma, Myomectomy and Minimally Invasive Treatments


Book Description

Uterine myomas are the most common benign tumors in women, affecting the half of women and mostly in reproductive age. Myomas cause significant morbidity and are the single most common indication for hysterectomy around the world. Thus, myomas represent a major personal and public health concern worldwide. The diagnosis of fibroids can be established based on ultrasound and radiological imaging. Recent research on the genomics and molecular biology of myomas has enabled us to better understand the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of this benign tumor, but more remains to be discovered. In the clinical parterre, novel methods of conservative treatments have been developed to allow many women to keep their reproductive capacity and to save uterus, and more novel treatments are available on the horizon. For this topic, an outstanding group of worldwide experts have come together to provide a detailed discussion of basic research and clinical aspects of myomas. All the existing knowledge will be summarized in this book that can serve as a starting point for clinicians, young doctors, students, fellows and all researchers who want to read up on this disease. This book is devoted to myomas, covering both recent advances in our understanding of their behaviour, and an overview of the current options for their minimally invasive treatments, with endoscopy and new devices. As we learn more about the molecular, genetic and biology of myomas, we will be able to develop more innovative treatments.
