What the laparoscopist next door is reading. Or should be.
Are you getting the macro view on minimally invasive? The publications of the Society of Laparo-
endoscopic Surgeons provide essential multidisciplinary perspective and a far richer cross-reference
of experiential knowledge than a single-specialty organization can provide.
The peer-reviewed JSLS, Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons brings important new
developments in laparoscopic surgery to SLS members in print and online. The journal’s rapid
review process ensures that significant scientific findings are presented with minimal delay.
LaparoscopyToday.comis a forum for the exchange of timely product information, member news,
multispecialty news, application techniques and ideas from leading experts in minimally invasive therapies.
The definitive reference volume, Prevention and Management of Laparoendoscopic Surgical Complications,
is a comprehensive multidisciplinary reference text assembled by the editors of SLS. There's no
other reference like it: the cumulative experience and perspective
of noted experts in laparoscopy from all relevant specialties. the Society of
Laparoendoscopic Surgeons
Coming Soon - Interactive, Multimedia EDITION 4.0
From SLS, MIRA & SRS
Dear Colleagues,
This first annual Minimally Invasive Surgery Week is shaping up to be an amazing, exhila-
rating, information-packed meeting. Join SLS, MIRA, and SRS for professional develop-
ment, interaction, debate, and the sharing of experiences in a format not found in other con-
ferences. We look forward to seeing you all in Boston!
Sincerely,
