Fully updated and revised, the second edition of An Atlas of Gynecologic Oncology presents a full description of the investigative and surgical procedures carried out by the gynecologic oncologist.
Key features of this important text include:
- a practical guide to a range of operative and investigative procedures
- contributions from international opinion leaders
- over 450 colour illustrations
All chapters have been reviewed by both the editors and their authors, some chapters have been replaced and we have added some new chapters. Amongst the new chapters there are included surgical simulation with its impact on training, palliative care, ovarian tissue preservation/transplantation and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
This book follows the ‘cookbook’ formula of the first edition, that is, nobody is telling you which operation to do, but rather telling you how to do the operation you have decided upon.
