Book Description

Few fields in medicine have experienced as explosive an increase in knowledge and techniques as endoscopy and in particular, gynecologic laparoscopy. Just a few short years ago the formal teaching of laparoscopy in residency programs was virtually non-existent. Even today, the instruction in this modality of surgery can be inconsistent. Many gynecologists finish training with only a minimal exposure to the multiple procedures that are rapidly becoming the standards of care. Designed in a special "cookbook" format for easy reading and optimum comprehension, A Practical Manual of Laparoscopy: A Clinical Cookbook details basic concepts as well as advanced procedures. The book covers the entire field from pelvic anatomy to advanced bowel and cancer surgery. Expert graphic artistry combined with computer-enhanced photographs present technically detailed drawings of unmatched quality. These drawings are clear and easily followed and they supply the optimal information regarding the various procedures they describe. With its state-of-the-art graphics and easy-to-use format, A Practical Manual of Laparoscopy: A Clinical Cookbook is a complete and comprehensive resource for new laparoscopists and a valuable reference for seasoned professionals. ...

Excellent illustrations and clarity
A well written, nicely illustrated, quite comprehensive book on the female genital tract pathology.

The main plus are the clear illustrations all of which are in colour so it serves as an atlas as well as a textbook (versus the black and white photos of the Blaustein, which in my opinion is a better text).

This is quite recent and so up to date (this ed. was published late 2001/2002). ... Read more

Straight talk for men … and the women who love them

When it comes to the health of their sex organs, even educated, intelligent men become embarrassed and irrational, preferring to ignore a problem in the hope that it will go away and seeking medical advice only as a last resort. Private Parts boldly cuts through the superstition, popular misconception, and general ignorance to provide a reassuring, no-nonsense guide to this area of vital concern to all men.

Dr. Yosh Taguchi, a prominent Montreal urologist, sets out in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner how the male sex organs function, what is considered normal, and what should be checked out by a doctor. Prostate trouble, erectile dysfunction, infertility, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, vasectomies, and artificial insemination are some of the common concerns and health issues discussed. Taguchi also dispels myths about sexual performance and male menopause.

In this new, expanded edition Dr. Taguchi also discusses the latest developments in the treatment of the prostate and updates information on drugs for erectile dysfunction. ... Read more
