Paediatric robotic surgery has been rapidly developed in recent years. This book presents comprehensive and advanced knowledge of different types of paediatric robotic surgery including thoracic, oncologic, abdominal and urologic surgeries. Each chapter is with the same layout as the introduction, indications and contraindications, preoperative preparation, detailed surgical approaches, and post-operative complication management as well as comparison with conventional surgery together with case presentations and video recordings in the end. It is a key reference book for paediatric surgeons and residents who would like to learn and to perform paediatric robotic surgery, and also for hospital general managers for how to establish paediatric robotic surgery settings.
