This multiauthored international text covers the robotic operative procedures in urology that are routinely performed today and still in evolution. It focuses on robotic radical prostatectomy and includes robotic procedures for the kidney, adrenal gland and urinary bladder. The most essential steps are depicted in illustrations. Data from many centers indicate that urologists are achieving equivalent or better operative outcomes using a robotic laparoscopic interface compared with their open results. Patients benefit from quicker convalescence, less pain and shorter hospital stays. All of which makes this an essential text for urologists around the world.
