About the book

From Introduction: The book is a well written and illustrated review and manual of the surgical options currently available for adnexal surgery, endometriosis, myomas, urogynaecology, hysterectomies and gynae-oncology. As new features, Martina includes laparoscopy in adolescent surgery. She follows our mutual teachers such as my mentor Kurt Semm of Kiel, who in 1981 performed the first endoscopic appendectomy, also including appendectomy as an operation to be sometimes performed by gynaecologists. As the majority of chapters are written by Slovenian surgeons, it is evident how actively endoscopic surgery has entered the surgical practise of Slovenia today. The chapters of J. Keckstein, J. Dequesne and P. von Theobald add extra lustre to the golden crown of the authors of this first gynae-endoscopic manual of Slovenia. Prof. Ribič, as editor and author, illustrates her ability to challenge herself and others to continue advancing goals wherever it is possible, while critically evaluating progress and saving the best of existing proven knowledge. This book should be seen as an EUROPEAN highlight in operative gynaecology and should be accorded a priority ranking.
