Год издания: 0000
The field of head and neck surgery is rapidly changing, with expanding indications for minimally invasive robotic techniques. While the da Vinci Surgical System is the most widely used robotic technology, this is an ever-evolving field with a growing number of other systems, including the Medrobotics Flex Robotic System that is being incorporated into surgical practice. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has enabled improved patient outcomes, decreased morbidity, and shorter recovery periods. It has been used primarily for neoplasms located in the upper aerodigestive tract. Robotic Head and Neck Surgery: An Anatomical and Surgical Atlas is a splendidly illustrated anatomical guide on current and emerging procedures from David Goldenberg and Neerav Goyal. It fills a gap in available resources and offers surgical pearls from prominent head and neck surgeons who have pioneered and mastered robotic techniques. The atlas reflects expanding indications for head and neck robotics including midline glossectomy for obstructive sleep apnea, nasopharyngeal surgery, laryngectomy, transaxillary parathyroidectomy, facelift thyroidectomy, and robot-assisted neck dissection. Key Features Nine visually-rich chapters provide concise yet detailed procedural guidance including key landmarks, vascular and nervous structures, background, indications, surgical anatomy, step-by-step diagrams, and radiologic imagingExquisite anatomical illustrations by Tess Marhofer and stunning cadaveric dissections provide the ability to see detailed anatomy from the robot's perspectiveSpiral-bound paperback formatting enables easy-to-read, real-time surgical guidance while operating the robotic consoleVideos with cadaveric and live patient dissections provide additional endoscopic insightsThis resource is a must-have for otolaryngology residents and fellows new to operating a robotic console. It is also an essential console-side reference for experienced surgeons who wish to incorporate surgical robots into their practice paradigm.

Автор: Джон Маркофф
Год издания:
Хотим мы этого или нет, но скоро нам придется сосуществовать с автономными машинами. Уже сейчас мы тратим заметную часть времени на взаимодействие с механическими подобиями людей в видеоиграх или в виртуальных системах – от FAQbots до Siri. Кем они станут – нашими слугами, помощниками, коллегами или хозяевами? Автор пытается найти ответ на философский вопрос о будущих взаимоотношениях людей и машин и представляет читателям группу компьютерщиков, программистов, робототехников и нейробиологов, считающих, что мы подходим к переломному моменту, когда искусственный интеллект превзойдет человеческий и наш мир безвозвратно изменится. Однако место человека в этом новом мире специалисты видят по-разному, и автор знакомит нас со всем спектром мнений. Центральная тема книги – двойственность и парадоксальность, присущие деятельности разработчиков, которые то расширяют возможности человека, то заменяют людей с помощью создаваемых систем.
