Preface
Surgical Principles of Minimally Invasive Procedures guides surgeons and surgical residents in managing patients who undergo minimally invasive surgery. Surgeons with vast experience in minimally invasive surgery liberally share their own considerations, thoughts, and lessons learned in this Manual of the European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (EAES). Selection of patients including discussion of contraindications for minimally invasive surgery and caveats is followed by detailed description on preparation for surgery, operation room setup, and patient positioning. The authors of Surgical Principles of Minimally Invasive Procedures have dissected the surgical procedures in operative steps and address risks, troubleshooting, and when to convert to open surgery. Each chapter offers advice on postoperative care and early recognition and management of complications. This manual is a product of teamwork and I wish to acknowledge and thank all the listed contributors. Selman Uranue
