Robotic surgery is the fastest growing area in surgery worldwide. This growth has touched every single specialty, but it is seen most prominently in general surgery. Since The SAGES Manual of Robotic Surgery was published in 2017, the increasing utilization of robotic surgery has led to advances in technique, technology and even indications for the use of robotic procedures. Innovation has been at the forefront with development of newer robotic platforms. This revised and updated second edition provides a comprehensive review of indications, best practices and advancements in technique over a wide variety of robotic procedures.
The manual will be divided in sections. The first section includes chapters providing a general review of available robotic surgical systems, including future innovations and platforms. The second section focuses on specific procedures based on the various SAGES Masters Programs. The third section is comprised of chapters on miscellaneous but prominent and upcoming robotic areas, such as thoracic, breast, transplant and cardiac procedures. All sections are accompanied by plentiful color figures and photos, as well as high-quality surgical videos.
Like its predecessor, this manual provides a detailed review of robotic surgery and is geared towards surgeons at all levels of training and experience. It also addresses the needs of surgeons across various sub-specialties. In addition to providing insight into individual procedures, the general review of the system will be beneficial to those who are brand new to the technology.
