Anaesthesia for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery is becoming increasingly
commonplace, as technology has enabled a minimally invasive approach to
be offered as a feasible alternative to conventional open surgery for a
number of important surgical procedures. This up-to-date, comprehensive,
but concise and practically oriented introduction to the subject will
be of value to all anaesthetists with an interest in minimally invasive
techniques. It begins by covering the key aspects of basic physiology,
moves on to patient preparation and positioning, monitoring, the
anaesthetic procedures themselves (including possible complications and
contraindications and easy-to-follow ‘how to’ guides for a number of key
procedures) and finally, post-operative pain. Written by a leading
expert in the field, from a well-known European centre of excellence, it
is essential reading for anaesthetists and intensivists at all levels
of expertise
