Reviews

From the book reviews:“More than just an atlas of robotic cardiac surgery, this book is a comprehensive discussion of the application of robotic surgery and the history of its recent developments. … The audience includes cardiac surgeons and their teams. … This is an excellent book, written by experts in robotic cardiac surgery. It is a wonderful addition to the literature and should be of great use to surgeons interested in this new and exciting field.” (Michael Bates, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2014)
