Gasless laparoscopy with conventional instruments.
Smith, R. Stephen and Claude Organ.
Publisher Information: San Francisco: Norman Publishing, 1993. 
Pictorial boards. The world's first book on gasless laparoscopy, a technique that substitutes a planar lifting device for conventional laparoscopy's carbon dioxide gas (pneumoperitoneum). The gasless technique avoids some of the risks and technical inconveniences associated with pneumoperitoneum, and also allows surgeons to use conventional reusable instruments, thus retaining tactile sensation lost in some of the instruments developed for conventional laparoscopy. Chapters in the book discuss the application of gasless laparoscopy to a wide range of operations, including biliary tract surgery and cholecystectomy, bowel resection, herniorrhaphy, and various gynecological procedures. Also included is a full discussion of the use of gasless laparoscopy in trauma surgery. Illustrated with 56 plates (35 in color) and 11 charts.
