Effective Gynaecological Day Surgery

With the advent of new techniques for operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, many gynaecological operations can now be undertaken in a day surgery leading to a significant reduction in associated costs. However, the selection of appropriate patients for effective day surgery is still in its infancy. This unique book goes beyond conventional texts on the various techniques involved in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery to describe what effective day surgery actually means, how it should be organised and what constitutes future directions in day surgery for women - the evidence-based approach. The authors draw on their combined experience of working in gynaecological day surgery over the last five years, both in the setting of a major hospital and in an independent gynaecological day surgery unit.
