Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery in Malignancies

About this book



The horizons of laparoscopic surgery are expanding, such that the
overwhelming majority of abdominal urologic procedures have now been
performed laparoscopically. In some of these procedures, the
laparoscopic alternative has been demonstrated to be superior to its
open counterpart; in others comparative analyses are ongoing; and in
yet others, only the initial forays into minimally invasive surgery
have been undertaken. This book sets out to collate the current body
of knowledge on laparoscopic urology under one cover. The authors are
respected experts in the field and have provided concise, thoughtful
updates on their respective topics. The information contained in this
volume will help urologists to increase their laparoscopic knowledge
and skills.
