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 with specific timeframes, for learning and teaching purposes. Readers will learn how to use robots to make smaller incisions, decrease blood loss and postoperative pain, as well as foster quicker healing time and reduce hospital stays. Written by the senior editors with the contribution of internationally renowned robotic surgeons and academics, this is an invaluable resource for both beginner and experienced surgeons performing robotic procedures for the first time.
