Endoscopic surgery has revolutionized pediatric surgery in the past 15 years. Almost all operations that were previously performed through incisions are now completed using endoscopic surgical techniques. This book mirrors the enormous progress that has been made. It contains 111 chapters, starting with 8 basic chapters, including one on ergonomics, to be followed by 20 chapters on thoracoscopic procedures, including esophageal atresia repair, 41 chapters on endoscopic surgical gastrointestinal, hepatic, pancreatic and splenic procedures, and 30 chapters on endoscopic surgical urology and adrenalectomy. Endoscopic surgery for diaphragmatic pathology, inguinal hernia and obesity is described as well. There is one chapter on thoracoscopic anterior spinal procedures and one on endoscopic access to the fetus. The book deals with endoscopic surgery in oncological conditions and in trauma as well. It has been the intention to produce a practical book with about 1000 drawings and color photographs. All chapters have been written by experts in the field from all over the world and results obtained by them are included in each chapter.

La nascita e lo sviluppo della chirurgia laparoscopica emini-invasiva è il cambiamento più importanteavvenuto in chirurgia pediatrica negli ultimi 30 anni.Il grande impulso a questa branca della chirurgia èlegato allo sforzo combinato di molti chirurghi pediatripionieri nel campo delle tecniche chirurgiche dedicateesclusivamente all’età pediatrica e allo sviluppotecnologico, che ha permesso la miniaturizzazione deglistrumenti laparoscopici nati in origine solo perl’utilizzo su adulti.Questo volume permette una rapida consultazionegrazie alla praticità della struttura: per ogni patologiasono riportate le indicazioni e le note essenziali ditecnica chirurgica, arricchite da schemi e figure chemostrano le posizioni del paziente, le posizioni deitrocars oltre agli step principali della tecnica chirurgica,ed è completato da un mini-DVD che propone filmatidelle principali tecniche descritte nel testo. Latrattazione degli argomenti - tra i quali laparoscopia,toracoscopia, retroperitoneoscopia, robotica, realtàvirtuale e problematiche medico legali - è stata affidataa un team di esperti italiani e internazionali del campo.Il volume è dedicato primariamente ai chirurghipediatri, ma può essere di valido aiuto anche per ichirurghi generali, gli urologi e i chirurghi delle altrespecialità che si trovano ad operare pazienti pediatrici.
