Beschreibung
Since the first laparoscopic approach for a urologic tumor was performed in 1991, the field has evolved dramatically and minimally invasive surgery is today a significant surgical option for the treatment of patients with prostate and other urologic cancers. Laparoscopic Techniques in Urologic Oncology is a comprehensive technical manual of these current laparoscopic practices written by a panel of international contributors.
Laparoscopic Techniques in Urologic Oncology includes many illustrations documenting each step of each procedure, as well as descriptions of nuances and common pitfalls. By emphasizing successful techniques, this book will be of use to the surgeons wanting to hone their skills in laparoscopy and for residents just entering this highly demanding field.
Specific chapters include the following procedures:
Adrenal gland tumors (radical/partial adrenalectomy)
Bladder cancer (radical cystectomy and urinary diversion)
Kidney tumors (radical/partial nephrectomy)
Pelvic lymph node dissection
Prostate cancer (radical prostatectomy)
Testis cancer (retroperitoneal lymph node dissection)
Upper urinary tract cancers (nephro-uretectomy)
This utterly comprehensive work covers all of the techniques involved in uro-oncology. These techniques are widely accepted, well established, safe, standardized, reproducible, and teachable. In the last 12 years, the field of laparoscopy has evolved dramatically, and laparoscopy has become an alternative technique, overall accepted per se in the medical community for many indications. The main strength of this book is its focus on current techniques in uro-oncology. The aim is not to divide oncology into two worlds (open surgery versus laparoscopy), but to enlarge the technical proposals, with the same common goal. The book contains black and white drawings only as these are generally more precise and give a clearer understanding. It is, quite simply, essential reading for all urologists interested in laparoscopy as well as urologists in training (residents) or doing a fellowship in Oncology or Minimally Invasive Surgery.

From the reviews:
"Written by four pioneers in laparoscopic urologic surgery, this book’s 10 chapters illustrate various techniques used in urologic oncology. … The descriptions of these surgical procedures are designed to allow urologists the ability to offer minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of urologic malignancies. … Designed for urologic surgeons who want to expand their minimally invasive practice to more complex oncology procedures … . This is an excellent resource for laparoscopic surgeons interested in expanding their practice to minimally invasive urologic oncology techniques." (Peter Pinto, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2009)
