Book SynopsisMinimally invasive surgery has emerged as the standard treatment for many gynecologic diseases and conditions. In the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated the superiority of laparoscopic approaches over standard open procedures in terms of improved quality of life for patients. Innovations in minimally invasive surgical technology—such as multichannel ports, articulating instruments, and flexible high-definition endoscopes—have made it possible for laparoscopic surgeons to perform increasingly complicated gynecologic surgeries through smaller incisions. As such, since the first edition of the atlas published in 2014, technologies and techniques once considered novel have become standard. This second edition, with five new chapters and content updated throughout to reflect the latest evolutions in the field, serves as a guide in robotic, conventional, and single-port laparoscopic surgery, presenting invaluable, up-to-date information about instrumentation, surgical technique, port systems, and the current research and development in robotics. Chapters address unique challenges associated with each technique, such as lack of haptic feedback or articulation and instrument crowding, and describe the advanced laparoscopic skills required to safely and efficiently perform procedures, such as how to move and control a flexible camera or use the robot. Specific topics include conventional laparoscopic myomectomy, adnexal surgery, total and supracervical hysterectomy, and excision of endometriosis excision, as well as related techniques in gynecologic oncology, urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, tubal surgery and ectopic pregnancy, isthmocele repair, and trachelectomy for early cervical cancer. For single-port laparoscopic techniques, chapters are presented on adnexal surgery, hysterectomy, and gynecologic oncology, while the section on robotic surgery offers guidance on instrumentation, platforms, and basic principles; robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy, total hysterectomy for benign disease, endometriosis management, and total hysterectomy for cancer; as well as techniques for robotic adnexal surgery, urogynecology/pelvic reconstructive surgery, tubal surgery, and complication management, concluding with a review of new and emerging technologies. For students, residents, fellows, operating room personnel, and practicing gynecologic surgeons, the editors share experience amassed while developing novel surgical instrumentation and collaborating on presentations for numerous worldwide events. Internationally renowned experts contribute as well to this practical, illustrated resource on current minimally invasive techniques in gynecologic surgery. Table of ContentsSection I.

Book SynopsisMinimally invasive spine surgery, in some form or other, has historical roots dating back more than 100 years, and recent advances in technology now make it increasingly effective in treating suitable spine patients. While minimally invasive approaches have shown to reduce muscle damage, blood loss, and post-operative pain, to perform this t ype of surgery correctly, even highly skilled modern-day surgeons must prepare themselves for a demanding learning curve. For this reason, AOSpine proudly presents Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Techniques, Evidence, and Controversies, the most comprehensive book of its kind, which includes more than 500 pages of surgical techniques, illustrations, case images, tips and tricks, and research, providing an invaluable tool for spine surgeons around the world. Each technique is fully examined: The pros and cons of each is objectively reviewed Its spectrum of indications and contraindications is summarized Historical and modern day controversies relating to each technique are discussed Uniquely, chapters in the text are further supported by an evidence-based section summarizing research studies, analysis, and conclusions into each technique, from peer-reviewed journals The text covers more than just a range of interesting medical techniques. By including brief historical introductions on each technique and the surgeons that explored and founded its methods, their early (sometimes self-made) instrumentation, right through to todays current best-practice, this book provides an interesting, informative, and topical instruction on minimally invasive surgery and its increasingly encouraging results for spine-patient care.Table of Contents1 Fundamentals 1.1 The definition of minimally invasive spine surgery and the rationale for its use 1.2 Minimally invasive spine surgery and AOSpine principles 1.3 The four pillars of minimally invasive spine surgery 1.4 Evidence-based medicine and minimally invasive spine surgery 1.5 Different spinal pathologies and patient selection 1.6 Computer-assisted navigation for minimally invasive spine surgery 1.7 Biologics in minimally invasive spine surgery 1.8 Anesthetic considerations and minimally invasive spine surgery 2 Cervical techniques 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Posterior foraminotomy 2.3 Anterior foraminotomy: microsurgical and endoscopic procedures 2.4 Posterior C1/2 transarticular screw fixation 2.5 Anterior C1/2 surgery 3 Thoracic techniques 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Extreme lateral mini-thoracotomy approach for thoracic spinal pathologies 3.3 Anterior thoracoscopic approaches, including fracture treatment 3.4 Posterior approaches for minimally invasive thoracic decompression and stabilization 3.5 Posterior approaches for minimally invasive treatment of spinal fractures 3.6 Vertebroplasty and percutaneous cement reinforcement techniques 4 Lumbar/sacral techniques 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Posterior approaches 4.3 Anterior approaches 5 Critical overview and outlook 5.1 Minimally invasive spine surgery: a critical overview and outlook

Book SynopsisThis text is a fully updated and revised third edition of a highly successful text. The format of this text is unique and has been very successful. A total of 286 short chapters organized into 24 Sections provide operative dictation templates for all of the common and the vast majority of the uncommon and even rare operations performed by general and vascular surgeons. Each chapter also provides a succinct synopsis of the operation through bullet-ed lists which include Indications, Essential Steps, Note these Variations, and Complications. The book thus serves two purposes: these operative dictation templates can be used verbatim when dictating the operative note for a procedure; and the book provides ready reference to the trainee going into the operating room to do the procedure for the first time, or to someone preparing for their Board examinations. Space for notes allows surgeons to personalize the book and turn it into a resource unique to their situation. Fully updated and expanded, Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery, Third Edition includes significant additions that include flexible endoscopic procedures (now recognized as a core part of general surgery training and practice), single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and robotic approaches to the rectum. The endovascular procedures have been significantly expanded, as have the approaches to venous disease and to A-V fistula creation. Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery, Third Edition is intended for practicing surgeons, who may modify each template to reflect their own individual practice. It also serves as a concise reminder of essential steps in those operations that may be only rarely performed.Table of ContentsIvor Lewis Esophagectomy (Laparotomy, Right Thoracotomy with Thoracic

Book SynopsisA handbook for obstetrics and gynecology residents who are starting to elaborate on laparoscopic surgery which does not aim to present new techniques nor to illustrate the history and evolution of laparoscopic surgery. Instead the authors have created a comprehensive text able to provide the minimum knowledge for one to operate safely and with confidence. They believe that a minimum proficiency in laparoscopy is necessary for every new gynecologist.The book has been designed to live in every resident's pocket and not his library. To stimulate further studying a list of suggested literature can be found at the end of each chapter.In recent years laparoscopy has been used more and more in the management of gynecologic cancer we felt that it was necessary to allocate a significant portion of this handbook on the laparoscopic management of gynecologic malignancies. In addition a chapter on robotic surgery has been included. At the end of this handbook the reader can find algorithms regarding troubleshooting and management of emergency situations in laparoscopy.
