Product Description 

This first of its kind reference shows you how to perform commonly utilized laparoscopic procedures with a combination of a large color atlas and narrated video. Nearly 30 videos on DVD—each 10-20 minutes long, with voice-over narration—describe the key steps for the core set of minimally invasive abdominal procedures. In addition to the procedures on DVD, a full-color standard operative atlas is included—illustrated with nearly 400 photos and line drawings. The Atlas addresses the key portions of each surgical procedure, providing complete details on the technical considerations of each operation. Inclusion of cutting-edge technology helps you incorporate these advances into your repertoire. With over 40 contributors, and edited by Drs.  Constantine T. Frantzides and Mark A. Carlson, the Atlas has been the top selling atlas about Laparoscopic Surgery on Amazon.com (rank of 170,000) as of May, 2009.
