Book Description
Pediatric surgery, among all the surgical specialties, is the one that has perhaps evolved the most in a shorter period of time compared to the others. In 1995 van der Zee performed the first laparoscopic CDH repair and after that surgical techniques have undergone continuous improvements, up to goals that were unimaginable a few years ago, such as performing robotic-assisted surgical procedures on patients under the age of one. The evolution of techniques and knowledge has made it possible to overcome barriers, operating with minimally invasive techniques on small patients with complex pathologies while ensuring reduced postoperative pain, good cosmetic results, and short hospitalization period. In particular, robot-assisted surgery has made it easier for pediatric surgeons to perform very important reconstructive-type procedures. Just think, for example, of robotic pyeloplasty, which has become a widely performed procedure in pediatric centers, given the greater precision and accuracy of robotic instruments in performing pyelo-ureteral anastomosis. These observations have allowed the bar to be moved higher and higher until patients with choledochal cysts are now being treated robotically. At the same time, all this has made it easier for even the youngest surgeons and residents to acquire basic technical skills, increasing the speed of acquiring the learning curves necessary to be surgically autonomous. In addition, other types of technological innovations have come to the aid of pediatric surgeons, such as rendering programs that have facilitated not only the planning of more complex operations but have also made it easier to create simulations for surgical training. In this Special Issue, we want to give space to all papers that aim to describe and highlight minimally invasive surgical experiences, with more emphasis on how technological innovation combined with the surgeon's knowledge and intuition can move surgical limits forward and make the most complex procedures easier.

Minimally Invasive Pediatric Urologic Surgery, An Issue of Urologic Clinics
Author: Aseem R. Shukla
Publisher: Elsevier Health Sciences
ISBN: 0323354718
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Urologists were early adaptors of robotic assisted laparoscopy, and pediatric urology similarly led in incorporating the technology into the surgical armamentarium for treating even the smallest infants. And it is in that tradition that this issue of Urologic Clinics of North America surveys the journey from the earliest pure laparoscopic procedures to the most advanced reconstruction possible today due to evolutions in technology. The issue begins with the procedure that arguably popularized the laparoscopic approach in pediatric urology—the laparoscopic orchiopexy, then posit the continued relevance of pure laparoscopy in the robotic era, before finally surveying contemporary advances in robotic-assisted pediatric urologic surgery. The issue is of relevance not only tor the novice contemplating a transition to laparoscopy or robotics but also for the seasoned minimally invasive surgeon seeking to enhance skills and augment his or her practice.

Low Invasive Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Author: Yukihiro Takahashi
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811667306
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
This book demonstrates the significance of minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation and reduced time as two of the most important factors for pediatric cardiac surgery and early postoperative recovery. The content is divided into three major thematic sections: low invasiveness; pitfalls and countermeasures before, during and after operations; and suggestions on time-saving and team building. Abundant figures aid in comprehension, while videos of the surgery offer practical insights for readers at all levels. Advances in extracorporeal circulation devices and management have led to new clinical problems such as decreased perfusion pressure, high pressures in oxygenators, and changes in acid-base equilibrium. The book explains these problems both clinically and experimentally, and describes countermeasures. Low Invasive Pediatric Cardiac Surgery provides valuable evidence and practical suggestions for all surgeons, perfusionists, scrub-nurses, and anesthesiologists who are engaged in pediatric cardiac surgery. It will also appeal to pediatric cardiologists and medical device manufacturers. The book is intended to share the author’s experience and actual data with readers who have clinical experience, and to help prepare beginners.

New Technologies in Urology
Author: Prokar Dasgupta
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1848821786
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Technology seems to be an integral part of modern living. Urologists have over the years embraced new technological advances for patient beneft. On some occasions, however, the initial enthusiasm in something new has failed to endure rigorous scientifc scrutiny. Thus, while being technological leaders, we urologists know better than most other surgical speci- ties that what is new is not necessarily good. This textbook is aimed at urologists and surgeons at all levels and has contributions from international experts. The topics vary from robotics to lasers to single port laparoscopy. The comprehensive chapters should be of equal interest to uro-oncologists and those involved in treating benign urological diseases. While the contents are meant to bring the reader up to date with technological advances, the authors have attempted to balance their enthusiasm with basic science, translational research, and clinical outcomes. It will be obvious that some of the s- jects mentioned here, such as nanotechnology, are still evolving, and it will be a while before they undergo clinical trials that establish their position in clinical medicine. We hope you enjoy reading this book as much as we have enjoyed creating it. London, UK Prof. Prokar Dasgupta Dublin, Ireland Prof. John Fitzpatrick London, UK Prof. Roger Kirby CA, USA Prof. Inderbir S. Gill vii Acknowledgements The editors thank all authors for their time and valuable contributions. We are also grateful to our developmental editors Joni Fraser and Barbara Lopez-Lucio.
