It provides a comprehensive overviewof classic surgical incisions, established minimal accessalternatives, and the emerging state of the art--gaslesslaparoscopy with subcutaneous lift systems and planar liftingdevices. Over 90 photographs--many in color--and numerous linedrawings clearly illustrate operative techniques and procedures.The indications for, and potential complications of, each techniqueare discussed within the context of standard surgical proceduressuch as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, gastrostomy, andherniorrhaphy. The book concludes with a summary of prospectiveimprovements in instrumentation and videoscopy that will continueto expand the boundaries of minimal access surgery.
Individual chapters cover such topics as: * Surgical incisions * Techniques of CO2 pneumoperitoneum * Low pressure pneumoperitoneum * Alternatives to and complications of CO2 pneumoperitoneum * Subcutaneous lift system (SCLS) for laparoscopic surgery * Laparoscopic procedures using the planar lifting technique * Pros and cons of gasless laparoscopy
With its detailed coverage of both fundamental concepts andadvanced technologies, Abdominal Access in Open and LaparoscopicSurgery is an ideal resource and an indispensable guide for allpracticing surgeons and surgical residents.
