Robotic Approaches to Colon and Rectal Surgery

Description

• Authors offer “tips and tricks” utilized in the management of these complex surgical challenges
• Links to online videos which provide technical aspects of robotic applications to colorectal operations
• Richly illustrated with color photos, illustrations and diagrams

This book examines the considerations, drawbacks, and advancements minimally invasive techniques have provided in the evaluation, management, and outcomes across a broad range of colorectal disease and procedures. 

For some readers of this book, a minimally invasive approach to colorectal disease may add a new dimension to the management of these patients. For others, it is the opportunity to learn helpful tips, specifics about a certain procedure, or to fine tune what has already become a routine part of their practice. Even if you have successfully overcome many of the technical challenges of minimally invasive surgery, the preoperative evaluation, perioperative decision-making, and management of postoperative complicationscan be demanding and consuming. 

Wherever you may be on this spectrum, Robotic Approaches to Colorectal Surgery is a useful resource to surgeons.
