P. X. Vasiliev. Peritoneoscopy in a surgical clinic. Edited by Honored Scientist Prof. B.S. Rozanova. Moscow, 1968 273 pages, circulation 4000

In recent years, interest in laparoscopy has increased markedly. However, many questions regarding this diagnostic method remain unresolved and controversial. Therefore, the publication of the monograph by P. Kh. Vasiliev "Peritoneoscopy in a surgical clinic" should be recognized as timely. The work of P. X. Vasiliev is based on a large clinical material covering 120 peritoneoscopies in patients aged 3 to 82 years. This is, in fact, the first monograph in the Russian literature that contains a color peritoneoscopic atlas. The value of this work also lies in the fact that its author has developed a number of technical improvements in laparoscopy, which are of great interest and can be successfully used.
