Laparoscopic Techniques in Uro Oncology

This utterly comprehensive work covers all of the techniques involved in uro-oncology. These techniques are widely accepted, well established, safe, standardized, reproducible, and teachable. The aim is not to divide oncology into two worlds (open surgery versus laparoscopy), but to enlarge the technical proposals, with the same common goal. The book contains black and white drawings only as these are generally more precise and give a clearer understanding. It will be essential reading for all urologists interested in laparoscopy as well as urologists in training (residents) or doing a fellowship in Oncology or Minimally Invasive Surgery. From the reviews: "Written by four pioneers in laparoscopic urologic surgery, this book's 10 chapters illustrate various techniques used in urologic oncology. ... The descriptions of these surgical procedures are designed to allow urologists the ability to offer minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of urologic malignancies. ... Designed for urologic surgeons who want to expand their minimally invasive practice to more complex oncology procedures ... . This is an excellent resource for laparoscopic surgeons interested in expanding their practice to minimally invasive urologic oncology techniques." (Peter Pinto, Doody's Review Service, October, 2009)
