Atlas of Laparoscopic and Robotic Urologic Oncological Surgery

This atlas presents the principles and techniques of minimally invasive urologic oncological surgery. Divided into three sections, the authors discuss anaesthesia and set up, upper tract surgery and lower tract surgery.

Each chapter examines a different urologic oncological procedure, comparing both laparoscopic and robotic methods.

Written by renowned experts in the US, this atlas includes more than 500 detailed intra-operative photographs depicting critical sequential procedural steps.
