Robotic Cardiothoracic Surgery (Current Cardiac Surgery)

Robotic Surgery is similar to minimally invasive surgery, also known as laparascopy, in which surgeons operate through small ports rather than large incisions. This text will provide a comprehensive review of the historical, engineering, surgical and economic aspects of robotically assisted cardiothoracic surgery. This book will be of interest and use to a wide variety of readers from mechanical and biomedical engineers to cardiologists.
