Táto e‑kniha
The book provides instructions on how to develop a successful robotics program and learn the various techniques, and improve outcomes. The chapters are written by leading robotic urologic surgeons around the world. The body of data available is reviewed using comparisons in table format and supported by schematic diagrams and anatomic photographs to illustrate the concept being discussed.
An accompanying DVD gives instructional content.
This is an essential reading for all urologists as a reference to establish a robotics program, refine their surgical technique and provide information to patients.
