Robotic Approaches to Colorectal Surgery

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 complications can be demanding and consuming.

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

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
