The one that started it all...
The SAGES Manual: Fundamentals of Laparoscopy, Thoracoscopy and GI Endoscopy, 2/e, edited by Carol Scott-Conner features an entirely new section on thoracoscopy, a greatly expanded section on laparoscopic bariatric surgery, and new chapters on hand-assisted laparoscopy. In addition to this new material, all chapters have been revised and updated to reflect the current state of the art in minimally invasive surgery.
Over 175 illustrations elucidate the operative procedures, clearly indicate trocar placement, and explain the operative steps. As minimally invasive approaches join the mainstream of general surgery, The SAGES Manual is an integral component to the training of every general surgeon.
