TY - JOUR T1 - Complications of endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery: Prevention and management AU - Edye M Y1 - 1998/04/01 N1 - JO - Archives of Surgery SP - 464 EP - 464 VL - 133 IS - 4 N2 - The book is in 3 sections, covering flexible endoscopy, laparoscopy, and the subspecialties of thoracoscopy, urology, and gynecology. This grouping of the trunk-based specialties avoids overlap with orthopedics, plastics, and otorhinolaryngology, although there must be something that can be learned from endoscopic complications in these disciplines. The contributions from the more mature specialties (flexible endoscopy, gynecologic laparoscopy) are more rounded and informative than those from the newer procedure of therapeutic laparoscopy. A case-commentary approach made the chapter on complications of colonoscopy most readable and effective. SN - 0004-0010 M3 - doi: UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ER -
