Endoscopic Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide to Technical Aspects

Edited by Ivo Broeders, Sandy Kalisingh, Silvana Perretta, and Amir Szold, this book marks a significant milestone in the evolution of laparoscopic surgery. Over three decades since its inception, laparoscopic surgery has become a standard technique globally, revolutionizing operating theaters and patient care.

With advancements in technology, almost every disorder in the thorax and abdomen can now be addressed through endoscopic techniques. This book chronicles the journey of technical innovations that have enabled surgeons to adopt minimally invasive approaches even in complex procedures, significantly benefiting patients by reducing external and internal trauma.

Surgeons now have access to advanced technology that enhances their ability to see, dissect, and repair in ways unimaginable before. However, these new options have also introduced a new working environment dictated by high-tech surgical and digital technologies. This shift requires a new knowledge domain, which is often overlooked in traditional medical and surgical training that focuses on anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

The lack of in-depth knowledge on high-tech surgical equipment and workplaces is a recognized gap among surgeons and OR staff. This book aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive overview of the technical aspects of endoscopic surgery. International experts share their expertise to contribute to education, efficiency, and patient safety in the technological aspects of endoscopic surgery.

This book is designed for all healthcare workers directly or indirectly involved with endoscopic surgery, including surgeons, OR assistants, nurses, Techmed students, OR managers, and sterilization specialists. It covers surgical instruments, hardware for endoscopic surgery, and the surgical work environment extensively, making it an essential textbook or reference guide for those seeking knowledge on these topics.

As technology continues to shape the future of surgery and operating rooms, this book addresses the growing need for knowledge about the technologies that will define the next generation of surgical practices. With its detailed insights and expert contributions, this book is set to become a seminal work in the field of endoscopic surgery.
