Atlas of Robotic Thoracic Surgery

This bookrepresents the definitiverobotic thoracic surgeryatlas, containing didactic material necessary tofacilitate effective practice in thoracic surgeryand to provide learning toolsin these methodsboth to practicing surgeons and to those in training. It defines the complete operative pathwayfor each procedure for surgeons who wish to be acomplete robotic cardiothoracic surgeon and includes hints and proceduralpitfalls derived from the experiences of chapter contributors. TheAtlas of Robotic Thoracic Surgeryis illustrated with high quality illustrations and color photographs from surgicaloperations and contains expert analysis from leading surgeons who provide the key visual features of their chosen topics. Anesthetic and cardiopulmonary supportpreparation for each operation are included and selected references are provided to emphasize evidence-based outcomes.This book has been designed to augmentAtlas of Robotic Cardiac Surgeryedited by Ranny Chitwood, both being developed from these same concepts of simplicity and practical instruction. It will therefore be an important resource for all involved in thoracic robotic surgery or interested in learning more about the techniques involved.
