Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "The first definitive textbook on robotic applications for genitourinary conditions. … The book offers valuable insight on making the transition to this new technology. … In conclusion, this book is highly recommended as a perfect introduction to general urologists curious about incorporating robotic surgery into their existing practices. Surgeons already familiar with robotic urologic surgery may consider this a useful teaching tool for their inexperienced partners, as the illustrations are exceptionally descriptive." (Shahin Chandrasoma and Chester J. Koh, JAMA, Vol. 299 (12), 2008) "This is intended as a comprehensive review of robotic technology and its impact on urologic surgery. … Many of the chapters dedicated to this procedure are written by recognized experts in the field and thus supply advanced robotic surgeons with a valuable resource. The urologic surgeon without robotic experience would find more interest … which focus more on getting started with a robotic program. … an excellent reference on the current state of robotic prostatectomy and future applications of robotic surgery in urology." (Costas Lallas, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2008)
