There is no doubt that laparoscopic surgery benefits patients. It results in a shorter hospital stay, reduced need for analgesia and a quicker return to normal activity, while the increased visualisation makes some operations less complicated than the open equivalent. Although the number and complexity of laparoscopic operations in gynaecology are steadily increasing, many procedures which could be performed by the laparoscopic route are still being performed by laparotomy.

This book addresses the disparity between what could be done and what is being done by providing a thorough overview of laparoscopic surgery for benign gynaecology. Topics covered include entry techniques, preoperative imaging, instruments and theatre environment and training, as well as specific laparoscopic procedures. Complications and potential medico-legal issues are also considered. The video clips on the accompanying DVDs provide useful demonstrations of some of the key techniques.

The book will be an invaluable source of reference for all trainees and consultants looking to develop their skills in laparoscopic surgery and thus provide better care for women.
