This book examines the considerations, drawbacks, and advancements minimally invasive techniques have provided in the evaluation, management, and outcomes across a broad range of colorectal disease and procedures.
For some readers of this book, a minimally invasive approach to colorectal disease may add a new dimension to the management of these patients. For others, it is the opportunity to learn helpful tips, specifics about a certain procedure, or to fine tune what has already become a routine part of their practice. Even if you have successfully overcome many of the technical challenges of minimally invasive surgery, the preoperative evaluation, perioperative decision-making, and management of postoperative complications can be demanding and consuming.
Wherever you may be on this spectrum, Robotic Approaches to Colorectal Surgery is a useful resource to surgeons.

Additional text
“The purpose is to explore the history of robotics and minimally invasive surgery, describe the currently available technology, present instructions for using it, and provide detailed descriptions of robotic colon and rectal resections. … The audience includes colon and rectal surgeons in the beginning/middle learning curve and surgeons doing a large volume of robotic colorectal surgery. … a great addition to the library of any robotic colorectal surgeon or pelvic surgeon. It is well illustrated, well supported and comprehensive.” (Irena Gribovskaja-Rupp, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
