The first 3 editions of "Robotic Urology" have already become a gold-standard in the robotic community worldwide.
This book provides a systematic and well-structured content which includes all fields of urology – general aspects on robot-assisted urologic surgery, kidney and adrenal, pelvis, bladder, prostate, reconstructive urology, and the male genital tract.
The book brings together leading robotic surgeons from around the world to provide an updated text that covers all oncologic and reconstructive procedures in urologic surgery that are performed with robotic assistance.
