This comprehensive book provides an excellent overview on the role of the scrub and circulating nurse during minimally invasive procedures and a detailed description of the specific instruments adopted during surgical procedures in each subspecialty areas as esophago-gastric, colorectal, endocrino-metabolic, hepato-biliary, spleno-pancreatic and abdominal wall surgery. The concept that laparoscopy now allows everyone to actively see all the surgical steps and therefore to be no longer just a simple "another man/woman in the theatre" but an active actor. The need therefore for all the nurses – and above all the scrub ones - to know and to have the knowledge - and therefore to have in a sort of parallelism thanks to this manual - the purely medical surgical steps with the corresponding and parallel nursing ones: an added value in the training and preparation of the all the people involved in surgery.
