Reviews

This book is an attempt to review and critically analyze the data available on surgical procedures and outcomes using the da Vinci robot system. ... Certainly, the audience includes resident and students, but the primary readers will be practicing pediatric surgeons who are either contemplating the initial use/purchase of a da Vinci system or robotic surgeons attempting to expand or develop their skills. The book does a good job with the available data. (David C. Yu, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
