Short Description
This new edition is needed to provide junior doctors and GPs with a comprehensive overview of urology focusing on the diagnosis and management of the most common urological conditions. Urology as a specialty is undergoing continuing technological and scientific innovation and there have been many recent changes to urology practice in favour of less invasive methods over surgeries. This edition will include the new techniques and procedures that have been developed since 2006 that allow for safer and more effective treatment.
The ABC of Urology provides a comprehensive review of current practice in urology and is a structured and practical guide to the diagnosis, treatment and management of the most common urological conditions. This new third edition has been fully revised and expanded with additional chapters and improved coverage of renal and testis cancer, management of haematuria, laparoscopy, trauma and new urological advances. Prostate, bladder, renal and penile cancers are also covered in detail and new techniques and procedures for safer and effective treatment options are featured.
The ABC of Urology is the ideal reference for general practitioners and general practitioner trainees, junior doctors and practice nurses, medical students and all primary health care professionals working to provide the best possible care for patients with urological conditions.
