About this book
Robotics in Genito-Urinary Surgery fills the void of information on robotic urological surgery; a topic that is currently highly in demand and continuously increasing. This book provides detailed information on the utility of robotic urological surgery and how to use it most effectively.
Robotics in Genito-Urinary Surgery comprehensively covers specialist areas such as female urology, pelvic floor reconstructions and holds a strong focus on pediatric urology. It also presents the main operative techniques through the use of high quality images and drawings.
Compiled by expert authors from the USA, Europe and Asia, this book provides an international perspective on the basic knowledge and clinical management required for the optimal care of patients.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The authors seek to provide an exhaustive review of all aspects of robotic surgery. … intended for all urologic surgeons, regardless of their experience with robotic surgery. Additionally, allied healthcare professionals, in particular operating room nurses, surgical technicians, and physician assistants, will find it useful. Hospital administrators who are contemplating purchasing a robotic surgical system also will be able to use this as a reference. … a well-written book with excellent quality illustrations. It is the most comprehensive to date of urologic robotic surgery.” (Costas D. Lallas, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2011)
“Editors Ashok Hemal and Mani Menon, pioneers in the field of robotics, have collected comprehensive information in this textbook. … The textbook is divided in nine parts, including three that cover the general aspects of robotics. … Perspective and future developments concluded this outstanding textbook. Undoubtedly, this work is an excellent tool for all urologists involved in robotics. Beginners and experienced urologists will both discover comprehensive and practical information.” (European Urology Today, July/August, 2011)
