Main description:

Laparoscopic and robotic surgery is increasingly being employed worldwide. Contemporary robotic and laparoscopic training in a proctored or advanced fellowship setting is beyond the reach of many urologic surgeons. As such, in-training and practicing urologists are likely to welcome a comprehensive atlas that presents the technical steps of the state-of-art of this field in detail. No such detailed color atlas exists on the market. This atlas will find an important niche, and fulfill an existing need in the market.

Feature:

Contains sequential photographs of each operative step

Explanatory schematic line diagrams are juxtaposed amongst the intraoperative photographs for an enhanced understanding

Contains detailed figure legends describing the thought process involved in each surgical manoeuvre, akin to listening to a running commentary of each technical step in the operating room

Contains DVD with live edited videos of each procedure demonstrated in the atlas
