Full Description
This latest book in the Management of Urology Series provides insight into how to appropriately manage patients undergoing pelvic robotic urological surgery for renal cancer. Extensive guidance is provided on how to perform a range of procedures including the retroperitoneal renal approach along with information on how to utilize the latest robots effectively. Cases are also presented on how to best manage complications associated with partial nephrectomy. Each chapter also contains learning objectives to assist the reader in extrapolating the key information covered.Robotic Surgery for Renal Cancer is an up-to-date overview of the latest techniques utilized in this field along with potential management strategies for these patients, making it a critical resource for urologists, oncologists, and specialist nurses.
