The first edition of Robotic Surgery was written only a decade after the introduction of robotic technology. It was the first comprehensive robotic surgery reference and represented the early pioneering look ahead to the future of surgery. Building upon its success, this successor edition serves as a complete multi-specialty sourcebook for robotic surgery. It seeks to explore an in-depth look into surgical robotics and remote technologies leading to the goal of achieving the benefits of traditional surgery with the least disruption to the normal functions of the human body. Written by experts in the field, chapters cover the fundamental principles of robotic surgery and provide clear instruc...
Written by an international group of pioneering leaders in robotic and telerobotic surgery, this state-of-the-art volume examines the feasibility, uses, capabilities, and limitations of this emerging technology in surgical practice and training. Chapters discuss current electronic systems for guiding laparoscopic surgery and describe the various surgical robots and telerobotic surgical systems available. Major sections review recent experience with AESOP, a voice-controlled robotic camera holder, in laparoscopic procedures and explore various telerobotic-assisted procedures in cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, and urologic surgery. Other chapters discuss cost issues in clinical use of telerobots, credentialing for telerobotic surgery, and use of telementoring in surgical training.
This text provides a state of the art overview of tools for guiding surgeons in the modern operating room. The text explains how many modalities in the current armamentarium of radiologic imaging have been brought to the operating room for real time use. It also explains the current use of near infrared, fluorescent, and chemo-luminescent imaging to guide minimally invasive and open surgery to improve outcome. The book is separated into two sections. The first, discusses the biologic principles that underlie novel visualization of normal organs and pathology. The currently available equipment and equipment anticipated in the near future is covered. The second section summarizes current clini...
The first multimedia medical text of its kind―presenting the most comprehensive and up-to-date full-color material about robotics in General Surgery. The Foundation and Art of Robotic Surgery facilitates the learning of surgery while applying robotic technology in multiple anatomical locations, using a comprehensive, concise and practical description of each standardized surgical procedure. The book provides clear descriptions of the instrument requirements, indications and relative contraindications to the robotic approach, preoperative phases including trocar placement, patient positioning, OR set-up, and a detailed description of the operative steps. Each operation is divided into steps...
Pancreatic diseases are a crucial issue not only because of their epidemiological significance, and their anatomical and metabolic complexity, but also because of the different treatment options available and their implications for surgery. Due to the slow but steady increase in the incidence of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, these diseases are today a real challenge for the surgeon. This volume presents the state of the art of surgery in the treatment of inflammatory and neoplastic pancreatic diseases, describing in detail the different approaches and their most relevant technical aspects. Also described are conventional and interventional radiology, operative endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography (which has recently acquired a diagnostic role), and adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy for treatment or palliation: for only a multidisciplinary approach can produce a global vision, a winning strategy for the optimization of results. Along with the texts, all written by experts, the volume includes color images and drawings. It will prove itself a very useful tool in clinical practice.
Part of the acclaimed Mastery Series, Mastery of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Fourth Edition, prepares you for any surgical challenge with comprehensive coverage of thoracic, adult cardiac, and congenital cardiac procedures. Drs. Larry R. Kaiser, Irving L. Kron, Joseph B. Shrager, Gorav Ailawadi, and Stephanie M. Fuller lead a team of expert contributing authors and provide editorial commentary following each chapter. This fully revised edition is an invaluable reference for cardiothoracic fellows, as well as thoracic and cardiac surgeons.
The Encyclopedia of Medical Robotics combines contributions in four distinct areas of Medical robotics, namely: Minimally Invasive Surgical Robotics, Micro and Nano Robotics in Medicine, Image-guided Surgical Procedures and Interventions, and Rehabilitation Robotics. The volume on Minimally Invasive Surgical Robotics focuses on robotic technologies geared towards challenges and opportunities in minimally invasive surgery and the research, design, implementation and clinical use of minimally invasive robotic systems. The volume on Micro and Nano robotics in Medicine is dedicated to research activities in an area of emerging interdisciplinary technology that is raising new scientific challenge...
This book provides a comprehensive state-of-the art overview on the main trends in the newest endoscopic, robotic, and minimal invasive surgical innovations. It also aims to give insight on some of the innovative ideas around Gastro-intestinal Surgery and Endoscopy to stimulate further activities. It contains established knowledge in the field of endoscopic and surgical techniques, and the integration of these new findings in updated therapeutic decision making are demonstrated. The text reviews the latest literature on the subjects and describes the decision making to establish new therapeutic options in the management of diseases applying new technologies. These new techniques are described in detail, which provide excellent back-up information for clinicians in daily practice. Written by experts in the field, Innovative Endoscopic and Surgical Technology in the GI Tract is a valuable resource of knowledge for clinicians, surgeons, nurses, technicians, students and researchers with an interest in GI- disease.
