Fireside Lectures on Classic Robotic HPB Surgery. From the Sparkling of Sparks to the Spreading of Prairie Blazes: In Memory of Prof. Ningxin Zhou

This book presents a collection of case reviews on robotic HPB (Hepato-pancreato-biliary) surgeries contributed by distinguished surgical experts and robotics engineers. Each case is accompanied by photographs and discussions to facilitate understanding of the presented projects and techniques. The book not only presents practical robotic HPB surgery techniques, but also offers experts’ reflections and perspectives on the future of robotic surgeries and surgical robotics.

Serving as a collection in memory of Prof. Ningxin Zhou, a pioneer of robotic HPB surgery in China, it illustrates the development and success of Prof. Zhou’s study of surgical robotics and his explorations in combining surgery with engineering. The book is a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers in the medical field and engineering alike.

• Presents advances in multidisciplinary surgical engineering research
• Shares leading experts’ extensive experience in dealing with complex HPB cases
• Provides prospects and perspectives on the future development of surgery
