Atlas of Lift-Laparoscopy: The New Concept of Gasless Laparoscopy (Encyclopedia of Visual Medicine Series)

A relatively new technique, gasless laparoscopy is less invasive than pneuomoperitoneum insufflation and allows the surgeon to perform laparoscopic surgery in high-risk patients with conditions such as heart insufficiency, lung obstruction, and pregnancy. This book explores the benefits of lift-laparoscopy and its cost-effectiveness for patients, surgeons, hospitals, and the healthcare system. With complete coverage of surgical procedures, An Atlas of Gasless Laparoscopy is a valuable guide to using this minimally invasive surgery. The author discusses the challenges involved, the range of applications of this method, and new challenges in the field. "Lift-laparoscopy - a new concept of gasless laparoscopy with a reusable wall-lifting system - avoids several typical problems arising with the conventional practice of pneumoperitoneum laparoscopy and allows the surgeon to perform laparoscopic surgery in high-risk patients with conditions such as heart insuffiency, lung obstruction, and pregnancy. With complete and detailed coverage of the surgical procedures involved, the challenges involved, the range of applications of the method, and new debates arising in this field, the Atlas of Lift Laparoscopy is a valuable guide to using this new type of minimally invasive surgery, exploring its benefits and its cost-effectiveness for patients, surgeons, hospitals, and the healthcare system."--Résumé de l'éditeur Physiologically, gasless laparoscopy is less invasive than pneuomoperitoneum insufflation, allowing the surgeon to perform laparoscopic surgery in high-risk patients with conditions such as heart insufficiency, lung obstruction, and pregnancy.
