Mayo Clinic Manual of Pelvic Surgery

Written by expert gynecologic surgeons at the Mayo Clinic, this manual is a step-by-step guide to the most successful techniques for pelvic surgery. The book details the preoperative procedures, surgical techniques, and postoperative management protocols that have been developed and refined at the Mayo Clinic. This Second Edition features two new chapters on endoscopic procedures and more specific guidelines for postoperative care, including a protocol for analgesia. Chapters follow a consistent format: indications, preoperative evaluation and preparation, step-by-step surgical technique, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and postoperative management. More than 150 illustrations--most of them new to this edition--complement the text.
