| Abstract: | Most surgeons are familiar with the techniques of laparoscopic surgery, however, in children there are variations in size and technical approach. This section on laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) is from a book that describes the differences and characteristic aspects of laparoscopy in small children. The book is an atlas of numerous drawings, accompanied by textual descriptions. Technical guidelines are given on how to perform the laparoscopic cholecystectomy safely, with or without clips, even in small children. Illustrations depict trocar placement, the instruments used, the technique of locating and isolating the gallbladder, ligation techniques, and the use of laparoscopy to remove gallstones (without removing the gallbladder). The aim of the book is to provide surgeons with the knowledge to extend their expertise in adult laparoscopy to children. 11 figures. |
