Iages Recent Advances in Minimal Access Surgery

This book focuses on Recent Advances in Minimal Access Surgery. The Minimal Invasive Surgery revolution began with the laparoscopic cholecystectomy three decades ago. Minimal access surgery is completed with one or more small incisions instead of a large incision. Minimal access surgery has moved the focus of surgery towards reducing the morbidity of patients while maintaining quality of care. This book consists of 20 chapters, which include endoluminal bariatric surgery, training and assessment path in minimal access surgery, laparoscopic entry, 3D vision versus 2D vision in minimal access surgery, hernia in obesity, minimal access surgery in recurrent inguinal hernia, endoscopic versus surgical procedures for gastroesophageal reflux disease, management options for complications and failure of surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease, bariatric surgery in diabetes, reoperative bariatric surgery, current trends in the management of gallstones with concomitant bile duct stones, minimally invasive colorectal surgery, and medicolegal dilemmas for minimal access surgery surgeons. This book provides a very valuable resource material for their clinical practice.
