Handbook of Robotic and Image-Guided Surgery

by Mohammad Hossein Abedin Nasab (Editor)

Overview

Handbook of Robotic and Image-Guided Surgery provides state-of-the-art systems and methods for robotic and computer-assisted surgeries. In this masterpiece, contributions of 169 researchers from 19 countries have been gathered to provide 38 chapters. This handbook is 744 pages, includes 659 figures and 61 videos.

It also provides basic medical knowledge for engineers and basic engineering principles for surgeons. A key strength of this text is the fusion of engineering, radiology, and surgical principles into one book.

• A thorough and in-depth handbook on surgical robotics and image-guided surgery which includes both fundamentals and advances in the field
• A comprehensive reference on robot-assisted laparoscopic, orthopedic, and head-and-neck surgeries
• Chapters are contributed by worldwide experts from both engineering and surgical backgrounds

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Xiang Gao, MD, MPH (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
Description: This book provides comprehensive reviews of numerous robotic surgery systems and their applications in various surgical fields including general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and urogynecological surgery. For each robotic system, topics include technological principles, description of the use of the system, and clinical applications. The chapters are presented either by specific robotic systems or by different organ systems/surgical fields.
Purpose: The purpose is to appeal to both engineers and surgeons—providing basic medical knowledge to the former, and basic engineering principles to the latter. It strives to combine principles of engineering, radiology, and surgery into one book. These are worthy objectives, especially to clinicians new to the field of robotics. The book has largely achieved these objectives given its broad scope.
Audience: The book is written for engineers and residents/practitioners. It covers a wide variety of surgical specialties and thus can be used by multiple specialties, but is most appropriate for clinicians interested in technical aspects of the robotic field. The author is an engineer and the contributors are a mix of engineers and clinicians. Some chapters are much more technical than others. Some language used in clinical application sections suggests that the author(s) favor robotic surgery, or the particular system described.
Features: This book presents over a dozen specific robotic systems, describing the technical principles as well as clinical applications. It also describes current systems used in organ specific systems, such as colorectal and orthopedics. For readers who are interested in robotics as a field in general, the book provides a comprehensive review of robotics across surgical disciplines. This is the major strength of the book. The writing is clear and the book provides plenty of tables and figures that clarify the technical aspects of robotic surgery, as well as clinical images that show the systems at work. The table of contents organized by organ systems is especially helpful for readers who are looking for information specific to a surgical field. Shortcomings of the book are that some portions may read similarly to a manual or have language that is biased to the strengths of a specific robotic system.
Assessment: The book serves as a comprehensive review of robotic surgery and covers robotic systems across surgical fields. It provides information on engineering principles, technological considerations, and clinical applications of these systems (albeit some chapters cover each of these subtopics to a different degree). Readers with a general interest in the field of robotic surgery will appreciate the book in its entirety, while those with interest in specific fields/systems will find only certain chapters useful.
