The Comprehensive Atlas of Robotic Urologic Surgery

This third edition atlas provides the most current techniques and methods for treating both benign and malignant urologic conditions using the most modern robotic platforms and equipment available to date. Robotic surgery has had a very well-established and increasing role in the field of urology for the past two decades, in many cases almost completely replacing traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. Robotic surgery has continued to expand and has been applied to urologic conditions in both adult and pediatric patients. In addition, advancements in robotic technology have opened the door to single-site (vs multi-port) surgeries, further reducing the morbidity and improving the cosmesis for many urologic procedures. The book begins with a guide to getting started in robotic surgery with new chapters on robotics training and performance improvement. From here, the book comprehensively and systematically covers a wide range of surgical procedures, including surgeries of the upper and lower urinary tract using the daVinci Xi platform, robotic pediatric urologic surgeries, and single port (daVinci SP) robotic surgery. A discussion of the past, present, and future of robotic surgical platforms wraps up this comprehensive guide. Each chapter is written by internationally-recognized leaders in the field in a consistent step-by-step format to help the audience learn how to expand their robotic surgical techniques and capabilities for their patients. The Comprehensive Atlas of Robotic Urologic Surgery, Third Edition is a singular resource for individuals who are involved in robotic surgery including urologic surgeons, trainees, nurses, physician assistants, and anesthesiologists.
