The introduction of robotic technology into modern day operating theatres haschanged the way that surgery will be preformed. The last five years have shown a paradigm shift toward the adoption of robotic surgical techniques by private and academic institutions alike. This transition has been driven by an increasingly educated patient population who seek out less morbid ways to address their disease. The introduction of this new technology has allowed for a significant advancement in patient care. By providing a minimally invasive surgicaloption, patient recovery is faster with comparable outcomes to open surgical techniques. A comprehensive book for the practicing urologist that will be an invaluable addition to every urologist’s library. Serves as a needed educational guide to understanding the scope of robotic procedures performed. Is written in a way that clinicians researchers and in parts lay people will understandand appreciate. Vip Patel and other experts provide hands on experience. Operative videos complement the text.
