Offering a comprehensive guide, the Oxford Textbook of Urological Surgery is a practical resource mapped to the curriculum for urological training as approved by the General Medical Council (GMC), making it particularly useful in preparation for the Intercollegiate Examination. Presented in a clear and accessible way, this evidence based volume covers all major areas, including functional urology, stone disease, infection, andrology, nephrology, transplantation, uroradiology, and paediatric urology. This highly illustrated full colour textbook has an innovative and user-friendly style, including over 500 photographs, clinical images, and line drawings. Bringing together the expertise of over 100 specialist contributors in the field, the Oxford Textbook of Urological Surgery is a highly valuable source of information, and will become the standard reference text for all who study urological disease and its treatment.

"Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Surgery offer a radically new way for surgical trainees and their colleagues to access practical management advice. Portable, succinct and above all reliable, they are indispensable guides to difficult and challenging areas of surgical practice."--BOOK JACKET.

Open reconstructive urologic procedures have continued to evolve; added to this are the newer laparoscopic and robotic approaches to reconstructive urology. This text presents a comprehensive approach to open, laparoscopic, endourologic, robotic, microsurgical, and prosthetic reconstructive techniques. An internationally renowned set of contributors provide detailed illustrations of reconstructive procedures along with diagnostic considerations, surgical indications, pre and postoperative care instructions, and discussion of complications.

Glenn's Urologic Surgery is a comprehensive but concise textbook focused on surgical procedures. After more than 30 years it is still required reading for most urology residents and is consulted by practicing physicians while planning surgeries. Chapters are heavily illustrated and progress from diagnosis to indications for surgery, to brief sections on alternative therapies, and then to detailed sections on surgical technique before closing with a discussion of outcomes as found in the literature. The Seventh Edition continues to emphasize laparoscopic procedures. Each section opens with a thoroughly illustrated description of relevant anatomy.

This is a concise, up-to-date reference on anesthesia for urological surgery. Urological anesthesia is not recognized as a specialty, and a majority of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists will provide anesthesia for these patients. Advances in urological procedures, the advent of treatment of patients with strong anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, and the demographics of urology patients (many of whom are young or elderly) present challenges for the anesthesiologist and have necessitated changes in anesthesia practice. The last volume on this topic was published in 2000, and the time is right for a fresh presentation of contemporary expertise in anesthesia for urological surgery. The book provides a brief review of renal physiology and pharmacology then addresses anesthesia for each major group of urological procedures (e.g., endoscopic, office-based, laparoscopic and robotic, nephrolithotripsy, renal transplantation, etc.) and in special populations, including the geriatric patient, the pediatric patient, and the pregnant patient. Separate chapters discuss the unique challenges of positioning the patient, and of managing the patient taking anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication, and the chapter on pain management addresses common and important perioperative concerns.

Urologists interested in prosthesis surgery currently offer a range of procedures eg slings for incontinence in both men and women, and is also within the remit of those undertaking AUS (artificial urinary sphincter) implantation, and likewise andrological surgeons undertaking penile prosthesis also offer AUS. There are a number of procedures which are common to all urologists with a general urology practice eg ureteric stents and testicular implants. However, the purpose of this book is to cover this area of urological surgery and provide a reference book for those interested in expanding their practice.
