title: Nursing aspects of gynaecologic endoscopy.
abstract: Nurses now play an integral part in gynaecological endoscopic surgery, with the video camera enabling the operating room staff to visualise the entire procedure. Endoscopy teams are being developed in the operating room for specialised procedures to ensure that nurses assisting with such procedures are familiar with the endoscopic surgeon's routine, instrumentation and equipment. The team consists of the surgeon, surgical assistant, scrub technician, circulating nurse and laser nurse.
