Operative Techniques in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery 2/e

The Second Edition of Operative Techniques in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery is designed to give surgeons the learning
tools they need to understand and successfully incorporate laparoscopic colorectal surgery into their practice.

Because of the steep learning curve for this technique, this edition goes to great lengths to cover every aspect of
each procedure in great detail ?even including the pitfalls to avoid. To help the reader with pattern-recognition,
detailed, four-color photographs of important landmarks have been incorporated for them to review. Plus, an edited
video is included to provide clear, step-by-step instruction of each procedure.

Surgeons need appropriate training before incorporating laparoscopic colorectal surgery into their practice. This book

laparoscopic colorectal surgery or are at an early stage of integrating this technique into their practice.
