Innovation in minimally invasive treatment using the concept of cystoscopy is now creating new horizons in endourology, This sixth volume in the series Recent Advances in Endourology focuses on endo-urooncology, the merging of endourology and oncology.
In surgical treatment of urologic malignancies, bipolarization, the radical extended resection or organ-sparing surgery, becomes more remarkable. Further revolution in sophisticated reconstructive surgery by robotic systems as well as image-guided ablation technology will establish minimally invasive, tailor-made procedures for each patient with urologic cancer. In this book, the current status and future prospects of robotic technology and energy-based ablation technology are reviewed, illustrating their roles in future endo-urooncology.
