Robotic General Surgery

Meeting the need for a practical, data-driven reference in this rapidly advancing field, Principles and Practice of Robotic General Surgery, edited by Drs. Yuman Fong, Alessio Pigazzi, Loretta Erhunmwunsee, Dina Podolsky, and Dana Dale Portenier, presents state-of-the-art content for surgeons at all levels of training and expertise. Section One covers the history, platforms, and the organisation, operating room architecture, and training issues revolving around robotic surgery; Section Two contains more than two-dozen discipline-based chapters outlining common robotic procedures in general surgery.

Provides up-to-date discussions of current robotic platforms; imaging and display in robotic surgery, including contrast agents and augmented reality; the robotic team; emergencies in robotic surgery; and more

Contains well-illustrated, discipline-based coverage of hernia surgery, bariatric surgery, upper GI surgery, colorectal surgery, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, and thoracic, endocrine, and urologic/gynecologic procedures

Provides numerous tables of evidence that summarize emerging, outcome-supported data on the advantages of robotic surgery in terms of safety and benefits to patients

Serves as an authoritative guide for residents and fellows in training, a reference for the surgeons active in robotic surgery, and a primer for senior surgeons adapting these new technologies to their current practice
