“This is a broad overview of the range of robotic urologic surgeries with an emphasis on the early recognition and management of surgical complications. … the book provides a broad perspective on complications in robotic urologic surgery. … This is a useful addition to the practicing urologist's office or personal library.” (Daniel P. Verges, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
