Minimal access surgery is completed with one or more small incisions instead of a large incision. The surgeon passes a telescope with a video camera through a small incision into a body cavity. The surgeon then views the surgery on a TV monitor. Minimally invasive surgery offers patients several benefits such as smaller incisions, faster recovery times, reduced pain and scarring. In many cases, minimally invasive surgery also offers a higher accuracy rate compared to traditional open surgery. Part of the Recent Advances series, this volume is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances in minimal access surgery. Divided into 18 sections, the book covers minimal access surgery for many conditions, predominantly different types of cancer such as rectal carcinoma, biliary cancer, neuroendocrine tumours, cancer of the oesophagus, and gastric cancer. Other topics include rectal prolapse, gastric bypass, super obesity and weight-loss surgery, and novel diagnostics for small bowel disease. The highly illustrated text features more than 160 clinical photographs and figures to assist learning.

Minimally invasive surgery has become a common term in visceral as well as gynecologic surgery. It has almost evolved into its own surgical speciality over the past 20 years. Today, being firmly established in every subspeciality of visceral surgery, it is now no longer a distinct skillset, but a fixed part of the armamentarium of surgical options available. In every indication, the advantages of a minimally invasive approach include reduced intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain, and shorter rehabilitation times, as well as a marked reduction of overall and surgical postoperative morbidity. In the advent of modern oncologic treatment algorithms, these effects not only lower the immediate impact that an operation has on the patient, but also become important key steps in reducing the side-effects of surgery. Thus, they enable surgery to become a module in modern multi-disciplinary cancer treatment, which blends into multimodular treatment options at different times and prolongs and widens the possibilities available to cancer patients. In this quickly changing environment, the requirement to learn and refine not only open surgical but also different minimally invasive techniques on high levels deeply impact modern surgical training pathways. The use of modern elearning tools and new and praxis-based surgical training possibilities have been readily integrated into modern surgical education, which persists throughout the whole surgical career of modern gynecologic and visceral surgery specialists.

The book covers the recent developments in various aspects of minimal access surgery (laparoscopic and robotic surgery), which is fairly a new branch of surgery that has advanced tremendously in last few years. This is the first volume of the set of books on recent concepts in minimal access surgery. It provides step-by-step descriptions accompanied by numerous helpful photographs and anatomical drawings. It also includes the controversies and gives a cumulative opinion on the recent changes developing in minimal access surgery (MAS). It includes system wise topics and separate chapters on the different topics within the system with the meta-analysis of recent topic or their controversies. The book is useful for practitioners and young faculties as well as residents, trainees and fellows of surgery and minimal access surgery.

The implementation of laparoscopy has revolutionized surgery over the past few years, incorporating significant benefits for the patient. However, this evolution has also entailed many technical obstacles for surgeons. This book is for readers wanting to learn more about recent surgical techniques and technologies. Topics cover novel sophisticated approaches for single-site surgery, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, and transanal surgery, among others. Also included are reviews of new innovative surgical devices, robotic platforms, and methodological guidelines for improving surgical performance and surgeon ergonomics.
