Preface
Laparoscopic urologic surgery has been well established in the management of urologic patients
for more than two decades. The majority of oncological and reconstructive urologic surgery
can be performed by a laparoscopic approach providing significant advantages for the patient.
Technical issues and the requirement of a high level of laparoscopic skill have limited the wide
acceptance of the laparoscopic approach. Thus, several laparoscopic procedures are performed
only by specialised surgeons in laparoscopy centres. Since these institutions have accumulated
vast experience in the field of laparoscopic surgery in the course of time, the task of training the
next generation of laparoscopic urologic surgeons as well as the wide distribution of the laparo-
scopic surgical craft is their responsibility. Single-port surgery has also evolved significantly in
recent years and generated great enthusiasm among experienced laparoscopists.
In addition, the robot-assisted approach for laparoscopic surgery has been introduced during
the last decade, a further step in the evolution of laparoscopic surgery. Robot-assisted surgery has
been rapidly adopted by several institutions. The high cost of the system has been balanced by the
superior intraoperative conditions for the surgeon and its promising operative outcome.
The lack of an atlas describing both pure laparoscopic and robot-assisted urological surgery
led us to introduce this atlas of laparoscopic and robotic urology, describing step by step all the
urologic procedures performed using these methods. Several hundred figures obtained during
the surgical experience of experts in the field of laparoscopic and robotic surgery have been in-
cluded in an a ttempt to demonstrate the anatomical and technical issues of each procedure.
Every procedure is described in a concise manner, allowing surgeons in training to gain per-
spective on laparoscopic and robotic surgery step by step. Basic issues such as patient position and
trocar placement for each procedure are presented in detail, including 3D drawings, in an attempt
to help the laparoscopic surgeons in their initial experience in the aforementioned fields. Moreo-
ver, experienced laparoscopic/robotic surgeons could enrich their technical armamentarium with
the numerous tips and tricks outlined by the contributing surgeons. The aim of the editors was to
provide an atlas that could accompany a surgeon for many years to come. We hope that this pub-
lication achieves this purpose. Enjoy reading the book!
We would like to thank Jens Mondry (Director, Moonsoft, Germany) for his outstanding contribu-
tion of computer imaging and design creations. Furthermore, the authors gratefully acknowledge
the assistance of Phuc Ho Thi in preparing the endoscopic figures in all chapters. Finally, we would
like to express our gratitude to all contributing authors for their significant scientific input.
