The Atlas of Robotic Urologic Surgery provides a detailed, step-by-step
guide to common robotic urologic procedures for the purpose of helping
novice surgeons in their transition to robotic surgery and seasoned
robotic surgeons to refine their surgical technique and expand their
repertoire of robotic procedures. In addition, less commonly performed
robotic procedures such as those for male infertility, pelvic organ
prolapse, urinary tract reconstruction and pediatrics are included. Each
chapter is written by the thought leaders in robotic urologic surgery
with descriptive step-by-step text, complimented by figures and
intraoperative photographs detailing the nuances of each procedure.
Emphasis is placed on operative setup, instrument and equipment needs
and surgical techniques for both the primary surgeon as well as the
operative assistant. The use of ancillary equipment and robotic
instrument and endoscope exchanges are highlighted throughout the
procedural text by tables designed to aid surgeons and their teams in
improving efficiency. This volume will provide unique insights into
robotic urologic surgery and reduce the learning curve of accomplishing
these increasingly popular procedures.
