Computer-assisted systems have long since penetrated the operating room. Their functions include pre and intraoperative imaging, image processing, modeling, simulation, navigation, and robotics. Computers help run the "surgical cockpit." They are critical in pre- and intraoperative process optimization, workflow management, and for information integration in the surgical suite. Computerassistierte Systeme haben längst Einzug in den Operationssaal gehalten, ohne solche Systeme sind bestimmte Interventionen in den großen chirurgischen Fächern mit dem heutigen Qualitätsanspruch nicht mehr denkbar. Trotzdem befinden wir uns erst am Anfang einer Entwicklung, die in der Zukunft weitere wichtige Neuerungen bereithält: Prä- und intraoperative Bildgebung, Bildverarbeitung, Modellierung, Simulation, Navigation, Robotik, Surgical Cockpit, prä- und intraoperative Prozessoptimierung, Workflow Management und Informationsintegration im OP werden in den nächsten Jahren an Bedeutung gewinnen. Was steckt hinter diesen Begriffen? Ändert sich durch diese Entwicklungen das Berufsbild des Chirurgen? Welche ökonomischen, rechtlichen und ethischen Aspekte sind zu beachten? Ausgewiesene Experten geben in diesem Buch Antworten auf diese Fragen.

Endoscopic/ laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE) has become established as a therapeutic option for localized prostate cancer. This book is an atlas, not a conventional textbook. Its main goal is to guide the urologist step by step through EERPE, aiming to make this highly standardized technique reproducible. Every stage of the procedure is presented with numerous endoscopic images and diagrams so that the reader can fully comprehend the different surgical steps. Complications and their management are described in detail. Special chapters are devoted to the anatomy of the prostate, anesthesiological considerations, and postoperative management and training.

Robotic Donor Nephrectomy - A Practical Guide is a user friendly manual aimed to give both novice and mature urologists a clear and comprehensive description of robot-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy through a step-by-step approach. Novel techniques such as the Laparo-Endoscopic Single-Site (LESS) surgery are examined and the editors also look at the well established multi-ports techniques using the da Vinci Surgical system. Robotic Donor Nephrectomy - A Practical Guide will help young urologists gain better understanding of the techniques of robotic-assisted surgery, and support older urologists in ’crossing the border’ towards laparoscopic surgery, particularly for delicate procedures such as the donor nephrectomy.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical use of irreversible electroporation (IRE) – better known by its commercial name, NanoKnife – which is one of the most exciting new needle-guided cancer treatments. The coverage includes the history of IRE, general technique, preclinical research, applications in clinical practice and early clinical results, and future perspectives. Contraindications, treatment planning, potential complications, follow-up imaging, and other practical aspects are fully discussed, with highlighting of useful tips and tricks. Through the delivery of short but highly intense electrical pulses, IRE results in tumor cell membrane permeabilization, causing cells to go into apoptosis. The minimally invasive nature of IRE, combined with the prospect of completely eradicating tumors while preserving delicate structures in the ablation zone, makes IRE the object of worldwide clinical research. This book will be of value for practitioners and trainees in interventional and diagnostic radiology, surgery, medical oncology, HPB and gastroenterology, urology, and radiation oncology.
