Summary
  • Written by Professor Alfred Cuschieri and Dr Zoltan Szabo, leading experts and pioneers in endoscopic knot tying and suturing, this book provides the first comprehensive account of tissue approximation in endoscopic surgery. The text is divided into two main sections, knots and sutures, with each chapter following a structured approach giving step-by-step guidance to the various knots and procedures described. Common pitfalls and complications are highlighted with guidance on how best to avoid them.
  • Exhaustively referenced and benefiting from over 600 colour illustrations, drawn by a single artist ensuring consistency of style throughout, it is expected that this book will become the standard reference work on the subject. It will be essential reading not only for surgeons in practice and training, but for all those involved in endoscopic surgery, including nursing staff and biotechnicians.
