Minimally Invasive Surgery in Cancer: Techniques and Outcomes (EPUB)

This EPUB is a practical surgical reference on minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for cancer, covering the technical steps of difficult, complex and lesser-known resections. Each chapter follows a structured "how I do it" format that includes a brief history of the procedure, patient positioning and operating room setup, the specific instruments used, the operative technique in stepwise detail, postoperative course and management, and complications.

Coverage spans MIS procedures in cancer of the head and neck, thyroid, breast, lung, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver and pancreas, as well as MIS radical hysterectomy and inguinal lymph node dissection. Additional chapters address the history of MIS in cancer, the pros and cons of MIS, and fluorescence imaging, with an expert commentary.

Contributions come from global experts and are supplemented by high-quality diagrammatic illustrations and actual operative photographs, plus an approximately 8-minute narrated video with each chapter. The EPUB requires EPUB reader software such as Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions, not PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.
