Instructions

The American College of Surgeons Division of Education and Ciné-Med, Inc. have developed the interactive ACS Multimedia Atlas of Surgery: Hernia Surgery Volume.

A comprehensive atlas style text, this volume includes 28 chapters presenting hernia repair techniques using open and laparoscopic methods. Expert surgeons provide detailed, step-by-step instruction using a combination of video, illustration, and intraoperative photos to clarify specific points of the procedure.

The text opens with an illustrated outline of the hernia anatomy and a chapter on early history of hernia in a discussion on Edoardo Bassini's operative technique.
