Atlas of Transvaginal Endoscopy

Transvaginal endoscopy offers a minimally invasive method for the exploration of the uterus and the tubo-ovarian anatomy. Despite an increased quality of indirect visualization techniques, direct endoscopic visualization is still considered as the gold standard. The atlas offers information of the latest techniques for a minimal invasive exploration of the uterine cavity and a special chapter highlights the possibilities of the new hysteroscopic bipolar operative instruments. High-quality illustrations demonstrate the possibilities of transvaginal laparoscopy using a water-based solution as distension medium. Subtle lesions - mostly undiscovered at standard laparoscopy - can clearly be identified. Operative possibilities of the transvaginal laparoscopy are extensively discussed and special interest is given to the possible risks of this transvaginal approach. Throughout, the book will emphasize: Patients and treatment outcomes benefit from early intervention Transvaginal endoscopy can be performed in a minimally invasive way Transvaginal endoscopy results in accurate diagnosis Transvaginal endoscopy minimizes the risks for patients Safety and the management of complicationsGordts, Stephen is the author of 'Atlas of Transvaginal Endoscopy ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781842143209 and ISBN 1842143204.
