This review is from: Laparoscopy for Gynecology and Oncology: Procedures DVD and Manual (Hardcover)

This is an excellent instructional DVD with manual; however, do not buy from Amazon!! I bought it "New" and it came without the DVD. I could see the spot in the inside cover from where the DVD and its jacket had been ripped.... I recommend going directly through the distributor -- it's $149.
