Main description:

This book provides a practical guide to the use of the latest applicable surgical procedures and present novel pathways. It details how to utilize a range of techniques including three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy and those that require robotic assistance. Guidance is also contained on innovative tools including confocal laser endomicroscopy along with the application of biomaterials, artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies, enabling the reader to systematically develop a thorough understanding of these methodologies.

Urologic Surgery in the Digital Era: Next Generation Surgery and Novel Pathways systematically reviews the application of the latest surgical techniques and potential future developments in urology. Therefore, it is a critical resource for all practicing and trainee urological surgeons.
