Essential Urologic Laparoscopy: The Complete Clinical Guide

The last six years since the publication of the first edition of Essential Urologic Laparoscopy: The Complete Clinical Guide have marked continued improvements in technology and further refinement of techniques that have gained popularity in the field of urology. The most noteworthy technological
advance since the first edition of this book is the use of the da Vinci robot to assist in surgical dissection and laparoscopic suturing in the pelvis and retroperitoneum. A wealth of literature confirming the benefits of the laparoscopic approach in urology and easy access to this information via the Internet
have created an even greater demand for acquiring the knowledge and expertise to perform these operations. This has further accentuated the educational burden to provide training and resources for practicing urologists who wish to offer these procedures to their patients.
