Laparoscopy, Culdoscopy and Gynecography: Technique and Atlas

The textLaparoscopy, Culdoscopy and Gynecographypresents most concisely and expertly the surgical and diagnostic aspects of these techniques. In addition to a thorough historic review, the volume is replete with a description of recent advances in laparoscopic, culdoscopic, and gynecographic instrumentation and procedures such as the use of the fiber optic light carrier and ancillary ciné and still photographic equipment. Its use to help clarify the diagnosis of obscure pelvic disease such as unruptured oviductal pregnancy, endometriosis, and pelvic adhesions is discussed in detail with excellent laparoscopic and culdoscopic photographs. The publishers have duplicated the original Ektachrome slides from which this atlas was derived, since most hospitals, schools, and physicians' offices have projections for 2 × 2 slides. This collection of slides is available from the publishers. Areas covered in the text include chapters devoted to "Indications and Contraindications for Laparoscopy," "Complications of Laparoscopy," "Interval Tubal Sterilization Via Laparoscopy,"
