Look ahead to the future of surgery--with the first comprehensive robotic
surgery reference.
Representing a landmark in the medical literature, Robotic Surgery is the
first complete robotic surgery sourcebook. In its pages, you'll explore the new
frontiers of robotic and remote technologies, which bring us closer to the goal
of achieving the benefits of traditional surgery with the least disruption to
the normal functions of the human body. The authors take you through the
fundamental principles of robotic surgery and provide clear instruction on their
clinical application.
