THE NEW 2ND EDITION
The NEW, completely updated and extended 2nd edition is far more comprehensive than the first,
with more than two times the number of pages, an increase from 3 to 6
editors, 31 to 57 chapters, and 41 to over 100 authors. In addition to
surgical techniques, the second edition provides a broader focus on
issues pertaining to laparoendoscopic surgery, such as telerobotic
surgery, use of simulators in training, and a comprehensive look at
credentialing past, present, and future.
