Foreword
Pediatric robotic surgery is developed over the years especially in pediatric urology, but recently this technology is applied for other pediatric diseases. For the first time a book on pediatric robotic surgery is presented, covering all the fields of pediatric surgical pathology (thoracic, abdominal, oncology, gynecological, and urinary). All the principal international pioneers of pediatric robotic surgery are involved, providing current indications to robotic surgery; technical notes are illustrated to show patient position, robotic assessment, and the optimal use of robotic instruments. Managerial aspects are provided to give suggestions to start robotic surgical approach in each pediatric department. This book is addressed to the hospital general managers, medical directors, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric urologist. Genoa, Italy
