This book provides up-to-date evidence on laparoscopic emergency
surgery and supplies concrete advice on when and how to approach
patients laparoscopically in an emergency setting. All the
diseases elegible for emergency laparoscopy are addressed, and
for each disease recommendations, levels of evidence, and
technical key points are discussed and analyzed. Diagnostic flow
charts are included for cases in which laparoscopy turns out to
be the final diagnostic step and the first therapeutic one.
Furthermore, problematic and positive aspects of the laparoscopic
approach from the anesthesiologic point of view are fully
explored. Finally, a useful overview of current practice in
hospitals across the world is provided, highlighting the varying
applications in relation to different medical “cultures”, skills,
resources, and healthcare systems.
