Overview

Robot-assisted surgery, soon to be incorporated into most surgical disciplines, can reduce postoperative complications by up to 50%, and has been shown to result in reduced blood loss, earlier hospital discharge, and faster return to normal activity for the patient. Edited by master surgeon Tony Costello, and with contributions from the world's best and most experienced robotic surgeons worldwide, Principles and Practice of Robotic Surgery is an up-to-date, all-in-one reference that provides step-by-step instruction for practicing surgeons and those who are entering robotic surgery training. This first-of-its-kind text discusses new technologies and their application in each surgical subspecialty, with hundreds of outstanding illustrations and high-quality videos-making this an ideal resource for the entire OR team.

"""This is a comprehensive textbook that endeavors to cover the current field of robotic surgery. Purchase of the book enables access to an ebook with the usual search functions and portability; it also allows the reader to view 17 high-quality videos of operative procedures spanning the gamut of urologic, ENT, and general surgery. Because urology was an early adopter of robotic technology, it is appropriate that a large portion of the text is devoted to urologic applications. Other fields of surgery have not been neglected."" ©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA, MFA (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics) Doody’s Score: 90 - 4 Stars!"
