Heavily illustrated, it provides detailed instruction on the newest methods of correcting a multitude of congenital anomalies (such as undescended testes), as well as many acquired problems that result from trauma or malignancy (such as bladder cancer). With a focus on the technical aspect of reconstructive urologic surgery, it covers all major adult and pediatric procedures in 70 in-depth chapters -- all with sufficient detail to help the reader decide which techniques are applicable in his or her own practice. * Comprehensive coverage of all major reconstructive procedures. * Superbly illustrated, depicting relevant anatomy and detailing the technical aspects of each procedure. * Highly authoritative contributors who are experts in their respective areas of urology. * Addresses both adult and pediatric patients.
Urologists were early adaptors of robotic assisted laparoscopy, and pediatric urology similarly led in incorporating the technology into the surgical armamentarium for treating even the smallest infants. And it is in that tradition that this issue of Urologic Clinics of North America surveys the journey from the earliest pure laparoscopic procedures to the most advanced reconstruction possible today due to evolutions in technology. The issue begins with the procedure that arguably popularized the laparoscopic approach in pediatric urology—the laparoscopic orchiopexy, then posit the continued relevance of pure laparoscopy in the robotic era, before finally surveying contemporary advances in robotic-assisted pediatric urologic surgery. The issue is of relevance not only tor the novice contemplating a transition to laparoscopy or robotics but also for the seasoned minimally invasive surgeon seeking to enhance skills and augment his or her practice.
