Humana Press Pediatric Robotic Urology 1st Editon 2016 Softbound by Jeffrey S. Palmer
Robotic technology has paved the way for new opportunities in pediatric urologic surgery. Where once laparoscopy was restricted to urological conditions in children such as undescended testicles and ambiguous genitalia, robotic techniques are now enabling the completion of greatly needed, more involved procedures. Written by highly respected surgeons, Pediatric Robotic Urology provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the precise surgical techniques that are changing the practice of pediatric urologic surgery. Divided in two sections and covering both introductory topics and advanced surgical techniques, Pediatric Robotic Urology also includes myriad illustrations and photographs of intraoperative procedures. Developed for accessible reading, this invaluable title is a concise, yet broad reference that is certain to be of significant value to urologists, surgeons, and all health care providers who care for pediatric urologic patients. Introductory Topics.- Urologic Laparoscopic Anatomy.- Physiology of Paediatric Genitourinary Laparoscopy.- Robotic Equipment and Instrumentation.- Advantages of Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopy.- Robotic Surgery: Considerations for the Future.- Surgical Techniques.- Transperitoneal vs. Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Approaches.- Techniques and “Tricks of the Trade” of Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopy.- Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty.- Robotically Assisted Laparoscopic Nephrectomy and Adrenalectomy.- Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Heminephrectomy.- Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Ureteral Reimplantation.- Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Bladder Augmentation.- Other Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Genitourinary Operations.- Complications and Management of Pediatric Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery: Prevention and Management.
