Aus den Rezensionen: ! Zunehmende Erfahrungen, fundierte Erkenntnisse aufgrund klinischer Studien und enorme Fortschritte in der industriellen Weiterentwicklung der technischen Hilfsmittel haben gerade in den 90er Jahren zu einer raschen Erweiterung des Indikationsspektrums und zu neuen Operationstechniken in der minimal-invasiven abdominellen Chirurgie gefuhrt. Dies waren die Beweggrunde fur die Erstellung des nunmehr vorliegenden, umfassenden und hochaktuellen Standardwerkes uber die laparoskopische Chirurgie des Abdomens, fur das es derzeit keine Alternative gibt. ! Zusammenfassend lasst sich dieses Buch als eine 'State-of-the-art'-Darstellung der laparoskopischen Abdominalchirurgie bezeichnen ! (H.-J. Peiper, in: Der Chirurg, 2006, Vol. 77, Issue 2, S. 125)
