The minimally invasive approach in emergency and general trauma surgery is a key aspect of both scenarios.
This book, the first comprehensive manual in the field, takes a global view of the subject and deals with
it in depth, ranging from the historical perspective to the pathophysiological and therapeutic aspects in
the various body compartments.
Thanks to its user-friendly approach, this book will be a useful tool in the daily clinical practice of
surgeons, doctors, anesthetists and nurses; thanks to its up-to-date review of the literature, it will
remain relevant for several years. Finally, the participation of world opinion leaders in the field
guarantees the comprehensive and scientific soundness of the work.
