The Atlas of Robotic Urologic Surgery provides a unique set of operative steps including figures, intraoperative pictures, and accompanying video that will aid the "beginner" at overcoming the learning curve and accomplishing these complex minimally invasive techniques. This unique technique-specific surgical atlas is unlike Vip Patel's which is more basic in its description of technique and also more comprehensive in its scope in covering things outside of technique like complications and results.
