Short description
Evidence-based Urology is the first text on the subject, providing up-to-date information on the safety and effectiveness of all potential therapeutics options for clinicians. This new title from the Evidence-Based book series includes comprehensive coverage of medical and surgical interventions while providing high quality evidence for the field of urology. Each chapter addresses focused clinical questions by conducting a systematic search of the available medical literature and critically assesses the available evidence for validity, impact and applicability. In doing so, Evidence-based Urology should become the standard reference for future publications in urology and provide a valuable resource for every practicing urologist.
