Physiologically, gasless laparoscopy is less invasive than pneuomoperitoneum insufflation, allowing the surgeon to perform laparoscopic surgery in high-risk patients with conditions such as heart insufficiency, lung obstruction and pregnancy.

Atlas of Lift-Laparoscopy discusses:

• the challenges involved with gasless laparoscopy
• the range of applications of the method
• new challenges in the field

With complete coverage of surgical procedures, Atlas of Lift-Laparoscopy is a valuable guide to using this minimally invasive surgery.
