Complications of Laparoscopic and Robotic Urologic Surgery

Written in response to the increase of minimally invasive surgery in urology, this volume familiarizes urologists with the complications of laparoscopic and robotic urologic surgery. Various procedures are described, and the management of complications associated with each procedure are discussed.

Ample illustrations and images are provided throughout the text. As more urologists embrace laparoscopy and robotics, and more fellows and residents are trained in this subspecialty, the use of MIS technology in the field of urology is expanding. This unique volume will of great value to the practicing urologist adept at performing laparoscopy and robotics, the urologist training in these areas, and most importantly, residents in urology.
