Endourology is an evolving subspecialty in Urology, and technological advances are ever-growing in this area. As a result, new problems arise in the workplace, that many urologists are unfamiliar with or unsure of how to resolve. It is therefore important that practising urologists have access to literature that can overcome these problems with both information and advice that is clear, concise and easy to reference. Difficult Cases in Endourology serves as an on demand reference for consultat…
One of the most common problems for spinal cord injury patients is urinary system dysfunction.

Further, the book prese…
This book focuses on a novel series of minimally invasive surgeries performed without gas insufflation and through a single port using the RoboSurgeon system. The concept of RoboSurgeon surgery involves a degree of "robotization" of the operator and participants. The operator, wearing a head-mounted display, uses robot-like handheld instruments. The endoscope is controlled by the movement of the operator's head using a gyro-sensor system. All participants wearing head-mounted displays can see t…
This book is a practical guide to the laparoscopic and robotic surgery technique in urology.
