Minimally invasive surgery has become the preferred treatment for a wide range of gynecologic diseases and conditions. Over the past decade, numerous studies have shown that laparoscopic approaches offer superior quality of life compared to traditional open surgeries. The development of innovative minimally invasive surgical technologies, such as multichannel ports, articulating instruments, and flexible high-definition endoscopes, has enabled laparoscopic surgeons to perform increasingly complex gynecologic surgeries through smaller incisions. As a result, techniques and technologies once considered novel have now become standard practice.

This second edition of the Atlas, featuring five new chapters and comprehensive updates throughout, serves as a comprehensive guide to robotic, conventional, and single-port laparoscopic surgery. It provides invaluable, up-to-date information on instrumentation, surgical techniques, port systems, and the latest research and developments in robotics. The chapters address the unique challenges associated with each technique, such as the lack of haptic feedback or instrument articulation, and outline the advanced laparoscopic skills required for safe and efficient procedures, such as maneuvering a flexible camera or utilizing a robot.

The book covers a wide range of gynecologic surgeries, including conventional laparoscopic myomectomy, adnexal surgery, total and supracervical hysterectomy, and excision of endometriosis. It also delves into related techniques in gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, and pelvic reconstructive surgery, such as tubal surgery and ectopic pregnancy, isthmocele repair, and trachelectomy for early cervical cancer. For single-port laparoscopic techniques, chapters are dedicated to various topics, including laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

The Atlas is an essential resource for gynecologic surgeons, residents, and fellows seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in minimally invasive surgery. It offers a detailed and comprehensive overview of the latest techniques and technologies, enabling surgeons to deliver optimal care to their patients while minimizing the impact on their overall health.
