The laparoscope as a teaching aid in open pelvic surgery

Urology. 1995 Nov;46(5):713-4. doi: 10.1016/S0090-4295(99)80307-0.

Abstract

Laparoscopic imaging equipment is useful in open surgical procedures, especially in the deep male pelvis. The magnification and brilliant illumination provided by these unobtrusive instruments increase visibility, facilitating both dissection and reconstruction. The application of this technique for surgical education is discussed.
