Covering the latest developments in open and minimally invasive surgery, the third edition of this text has been extensively updated. New topics include retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and panniculectomy to facilitate pelvic surgery, fertility-sparing surgery, and radical pelvic surgery. Additional chapters illustrate hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy as well as urologic procedures. In addition to the commonly performed major surgeries, the book presents illustrations of many advanced procedures currently performed only at specialized centers throughout the world. These procedures are likely to become practiced on a more widespread basis as physicians become sufficiently trained in minimally invasive and fertility-sparing surgery.
