Atlas of Robotic Cardiac Surgery [Hardcover]

Robotic surgery is currently devoid of adequate didactic material necessary to facilitate daily application in cardiothoracic surgical practice. This book represents the definitive atlas that will lead both the practicing and new cardiothoracic surgeons in these methods. It will define the operative pathway of each procedure, from beginning to end, for surgeons who wish to be a complete robotic cardiac surgeon and include hints and procedural pitfalls derived from the experiences of chapter contributors. The book will be illustrated with high quality illustrations and color photographs from surgical operations where appropriate. Leading surgeons have?contributed to the?book?and provided sample illustrations for their respective chapters.?Anesthetic and cardiopulmonary support preparation for each operation will be included and selected references will be provided to emphasize evidence-based outcomes.

With an emphasis on evidence-based outcomes, this definitive atlas of information on robotic techniques in cardiac surgery tracks the operative pathway for each procedure and includes a wealth of high-quality illustrations alongside trusty expert advice.
