From the reviews:"Each of the 19 chapters in this book is written by a knowledgeable expert urologist with additional expertise in robotic and laparoscopic pediatric urology. ... It is specifically designed for novices and those wishing to gain more experience in pediatric laparoscopic and robotic minimally invasive urological surgeries. ... The references are useful and up to date ... . The figures are of excellent quality and the index is easy to use." (Martin Allan Koyle, Doody's Review Service, December, 2009)"Edited by Cleveland professor J.S. Palmer, the book Pediatric Robotic Urology features more than 20 expert surgeons who contributed to and authored chapters in this book dedicated to robotic urology in paediatrics. ... All chapters are concise and richly illustrated with colour photographs. This textbook provides a comprehensive overview and would be very useful for paediatric (and adult) urologists who aim to develop robotic practice." (Paul Meria, European Urology Today, February/March, 2010)"This work for urologists, surgeons, and others who care for pediatric urologic patients overviews the use of robotic technology in pediatric urologic surgery. ... The art program includes color intraoperative photos and anatomical illustrations." (SciTech Book News, March, 2010)
