Atlas of Minimally Invasive Surgical Operations > General Surgery

Atlas of Minimally Invasive Surgical Operations delivers easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedural guidance accompanied by more than 800 high-quality illustrations designed to teach readers the most current minimally invasive surgery techniques.
Each of the 62 procedures is fully explained with text and accompanying illustrations. The beautifully rendered line drawings depict every important action a surgeon must consider while performing the operation. The text includes consistently formatted coverage of indications, preoperative preparation, anesthesia, position, incision and exposure, procedure, closure, and postoperative care. All of the outstanding illustrations were created by professors of medical illustration at Johns Hopkins University.
