This book is a reference book in laparoscopy for advanced surgeons and beginners alike. It contains four sections, 21 chapters and a colour atlas, covering almost all the aspects of laparoscopic surgery. Like any other good surgical textbook, it has excellent illustrations. Besides, the standard chapters of ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, myomectomy, hysterectomy etc, the book includes some of the topics, which are not available in many standard textbooks. For example, a chapter on laparoscopy in pregnant patients, risk factors have been identified and solutions are given to make the procedures safe in pregnancy. Similarly, a chapter on complilcations – the authors have stressed on need of prevention of complications. Considerable space has been devoted to newer procedures and the instruments like minilaparoscopy. This shows the trend for the future. A chapter on gynaecological malignancy is primarily for those surgeons who have already acquired mastery in standard laparoscopic surgeries and would like to do more. This book is indeed a bible for gynecological endoscopic surgery, therefore it is recommended for all hospital libraries. . 2011 Jul 21;59(3):270. doi: 10.1016/S0377-1237(03)80032-1 Operative Gynecological Laparoscopy – Principles and Techniques Reviewed by: Sushil Kumar *, A Kapur + Sushil Kumar *Senior Adviser (Obsletrics & Gynaecology), INHS Sanjivani.
