The first multimedia medical text of its kind—presenting the most comprehensive and up-to-date full-color material about robotics in General Surgery.

Written by the senior editors with the contribution of international renowned robotic surgeons and academics, The Foundation and Art of Robotic Surgery shows how to apply robotics in multiple anatomical locations, using a comprehensive, concise and practical written description of each standardized surgical procedure.

Fifty-one chapters cover topics including General Principles of Robotic Surgery, Thyroid Surgery, Chest Surgery, Gastric and Bariatric Surgery, Intestinal Surgery, Spleen and Pancreas Surgery, Liver Surgery, Biliary Surgery, Adrenal Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Transplant Surgery and Additional Procedures (including principles of Single Port Robotic Surgery). Each operation is divided into steps with specific timeframes, for learning and teaching purposes, and each of these steps is a unit/block that needs to be sequentially acquired to become proficient in that specific procedure.

Packed with 900+ photos and 900+ detailed anatomical and surgical drawings with also quick and easy access to 200+ surgical videos (including video clips of the most important steps and longer videos of full-procedures), The Foundation and Art of Robotic Surgery provides clear, concise and hands-on description of the instruments requirements, indications and relative contraindications to the robotic approach, preoperative phases including trocar placement, patient positioning, OR set-up, and a detailed and step-wise description of the operative steps.

The Foundation and Art of Robotic Surgery guides the reader through the processes of using robots to make smaller incisions, decrease blood loss and postoperative pain, as well as foster quicker healing time and reduce hospital stays. Benefits to the surgeon include improved control over the instruments, better views of the surgical field, reduced fatigue, and decreased hand tremors, which are filtered out by the robot’s software. Quick access to 200+ videos/video clips is available through the book in addition to boxed text highlighted tips and tricks, anatomical variations, common pitfalls, and average timeframes.

Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti, MD, FACS, is the Lloyd Nyhus Professor of Surgery, the division chief of General Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the scientific director of the SITL (Surgical Innovation and Training Laboratory) in Chicago, IL. He is the honorary president and founder of the Clinical Robotic Surgical Association (CRSA). A pioneer and world-renowned surgeon in the field of robotic surgery, he was the first in the world to perform a significant series of robotic procedures to treat complex diseases and cancers (including Whipple, major hepatectomies, esophagectomy). He has carried out thousands of robot-assisted surgeries. In the last twenty years, he has done extensive work in teaching and training all over the world, as well as proctoring of surgeons from other institutions. Dr. Giulianotti is the author of several hundred scientific publications (including peer reviewed articles, textbooks, book chapters and conference papers). Enrico Benedetti, MD, FACS, is the Warren H. Cole Chair in Surgery, professor and head of the Department of Surgery, medical director of the Abdominal Organ Transplant Program, Department of Surgery at UI Health in Chicago, IL. Dr. Benedetti is a prominent world-renowned leader in organ transplantation and in the use of robotic-assisted techniques in transplantation. He has to his credit many successful surgical firsts, including the first robotic donor nephrectomy for a living-donor kidney transplant, the first combined living-donor liver and bowel transplant from an adult to an infant, the first robotic combined kidney and pancreas procurement for a living-donor transplant, and the largest series of living-donor intestinal transplants in the world. Dr. Benedetti is the author of several hundred scientific publications (including peer reviewed articles, textbooks, book chapters and conference papers). Alberto Mangano, MD, is a senior research fellow at the University Illinois at Chicago, Department of Surgery. He is also training and research coordinator at the SITL (Surgical Innovation and Training Laboratory) in Chicago, IL. His work is focused on robotics, virtual training and AI. Dr. Mangano is the author and co-author of numerous publications (including peer reviewed articles, book chapters and conference papers).
