Jaypee's Video Atlas of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
he indications, patient preparation, and techniques of laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The videos load easily on any current operating system.
The material is presented in individual DVDs that focus on a particular surgical procedure. This works very nicely, allowing the viewer to quickly find the crucial steps for any procedure. The objective of providing practicing surgeons and surgeons in training with a technical video reference of common laparoscopic colorectal procedures is easily met.
The intended audience includes practicing surgeons and surgeons in training, and the videos easily capture the crucial steps for both groups. While the author is not well known in the U.S., he is throughout India. Furthermore, the technique, as captured on the hours of video, illustrates an accomplished and technically excellent master surgeon.
The videos chronicle the breadth of laparoscopic abdominal and pelvic procedures. The video installation is easily accomplished and navigation is smooth. The quality of the images and editing is excellent. The surgical technique is absolutely perfect in its illustration of the salient points of almost all laparoscopic colorectal procedures.
I recommend this collection for anyone's surgical library. The ability to go quickly to a surgical procedure, by using the table of contents and multiple DVD formats, and finding high quality video of the salient points of a procedure is of tremendous value. Locating good video presenting examples of many different procedures in one spot is hard to come by.
