Main description:

This book provides a concise overview of the robotic techniques applicable to colorectal surgery. Initially, it describes how to set-up an operating room from an ergonomics perspective. Detailed guidance is then provided on how to apply robotic platforms to the rectum, colon and abdominal wall. Emphasis is placed on describing the latest procedures and how to utilize them in a particular scenario. Instructional picture material and tips and tricks from world leading experts contain tips on how to successfully perform many of the techniques covered, enabling the reader to systematically develop a detailed knowledge of the methodology and how to potentially troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Robotic Colorectal Surgery: Complete Manual of Surgical Techniques describes how to apply the latest robotic techniques in everyday colorectal surgery practice, making it an indispensable resource for trainee and practicing surgeons.
