Nezhat's Textbook of Minimally Invasive Surgery
The practice of surgery has been revolutionized since the introduction of video-assisted endoscopy.

The new edition of this authoritative textbook covers the full spectrum of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures used in gynecologic surgery. Containing descriptions of new techniques such as fetoscopic surgery and practical advice on how to set up the operating theater, the avoidance and management of complications will be stressed throughout.
