Case Presentations In Urology

Urology is a field of medicine which focuses on the medical and surgical management of the diseases of the urinary tract system and the disorders of the male reproductive organs. The organs studied under the domain of urology include the adrenal glands, kidneys, ureters, urethra, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, penis, prostate, testes, etc. The urinary and reproductive systems are closely associated. Therefore, a number of disorders managed in urology also exist under the scope of genitourinary disorders. Benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary tract infections can be treated non-surgically. However for the treatment of bladder or prostate cancer, stress incontinence, congenital abnormalities, kidney stones, etc., surgery is generally considered an effective strategy. Urological procedures can be minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, or laser-assisted surgeries. Equipment such as ultrasound and lasers, and fiber-optic endoscopic equipment aid in these procedures. Some of the subspecialties of urology are urologic oncology, endourology, reconstructive urologic surgery, pediatric urologic surgery, etc. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of urology. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of urology. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.

50 Studies Every Urologist Should Know presents key studies that have shaped the practice of urology. Selected using a rigorous methodology, the studies cover topics including reflux disease in paediatric urology, management of male erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms, female urology and stone disease, the various forms of genitourinary cancer, and more. For each study, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implications for practice. An illustrative clinical case concludes each review, followed by brief information on other relevant studies. This book is a must-read for healthcare professionals in urology, as well as anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice.

This book provides a case based approach to the problems faced within pediatric urology and an evidence based approach to their solutions. Chapters on urodynamics, external genitalia, the upper urinary tract, the lower urinary tract, and office pediatric urology are included. Practical Pediatric Urology aims to utilise real life scenarios to improve data analysis, diagnosis, and treatment decisions within clinical settings. Key learning objectives are included to enable medical professionals to assimilate, synthesise, and formulate a management plan for pediatric urological conditions encountered in clinical practice in a safe and evidence based approach. This book is relevant to pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, pediatric urologists and adult urologists who undertake some pediatric urology practice.

This is a comprehensive textbook covering one of the few remaining blind spots on the map of urological literature. To date only a small number of publications have been dedicated to the topic of urgent and emergent problems in urology, important though they are in everyday clinical medicine. The editors are both internationally recognized urological experts and have made the effort to present an in-depth study into virtually every possible urgent urological situation with which a urologist may be confronted today. Thus the book includes chapters on topics such as urological trauma, urosepsis, urinary obstruction, oncological emergencies, intra- and postoperative complications, acute problems in children, and many more.

This textbook will help guide you through Urology for medical school examinations and will prove invaluable when working as a junior doctor. This book has been created with 2 aims: 1. To provide an accurate, relevant and accessible revision resource at the lowest price possible to benefit students and junior doctors. 2. To raise money for charity. By purchasing this book you will be donating to charities who fund medical research and medical education. Reviews: "Urologists often remark that our subject is poorly covered in medical school curricula; therefore, when we have students attached to our departments, it is beholden on us to maximise their learning opportunities. This book should help, since its strengths are accessibility and that it is written in simple language without ever being patronising. I could imagine a student attending a clinic and being able to rapidly match the case in front of them with the relevant section, and doing exactly the same whilst shadowing on-call. Once qualified, whatever the specialty they are working in, they could refresh their knowledge "on the job" with this readily available aide-mémoire to better allow them to deal with pre-existing and newly diagnosed urological conditions and emergencies. This, then, is a most welcome, concise adjunct to learning and practising Urology for medical students and junior doctors."
