Product Description

This atlas features sequential pictures for most reconstructive urology procedures, also covering laparoscopic assisted procedures such as orthotopic neobladder and ileocystoplasty. Unlike many other titles covering this subject however, illustrations in the majority of chapters in this work are drawn purely from a single case, allowing the reader to chart such complex surgeries step-by-step.

Laparoscopic assisted procedures drastically reduce the operative time required, and those surgeons with moderate familiarity with urology and laparoscopic process should be able to complete these operations comfortably.

Though the use of advanced technology is described, the book has been constructed in such a way that urologists from both developed and developing countries would be able to pick up the technical tips featured to perform the laparoscopic procedures also using simplified devices.

This book also deals with some of the unusual situations or complications that the vastly experienced authors have personally faced in their careers to date, offering problem-solving tips and pitfalls to avoid, accompanied again by diagrams or photographs where appropriate.

Finally, a CD-ROM featuring videos of many of the procedures covered in the body of the text is packaged with the book, to offer a comprehensive read for all practicing urologists and surgical trainees across the globe.

Product Description

Product Description

Exciting new developments and applications of imaging techniques have emerged over the last few years, leading to many improvements in diagnosis and staging of urologic diseases. Refinements in the technology mean that imaging now is much more precise than even five years ago, and this has significantly enhanced its application within several key fields.

As such, there are virtually no books currently available that cover the impact of these advances within urology leaving a major hole in the market. With its sound overview of the current state of affairs, and also its focus on highlighting future advances, this book would therefore find a significant audience within not only trainees, but also practicing clinicians too.

Furthermore, the whole topic of ultrasonography is a relatively overlooked one, with very few modern books tackling any specific areas of the field. This book will be up-to-date and will pay attention to the unique applications of ultrasound within each discipline.

Not what it looks like - but solid food for thought
This multi-author volume is sort of an update on current cutting edge and beyond cutting-edge (puncture robots) ultrasound technology. It does neither, as the title would suggest, limit itself to urological applications, nor to interventional use of ultrasound. All 18 chapters, however, are either interventional or urologic. The chapters are well-written, in-depth researched and all authors are knowledgeable about the topic they write on. Chapter 11 (physics on ultrasound) is a pearl of wisdom I have never seen anywhere else so far.
This, however, is where the praise ends. There is no chapter on ultrasound-guided puncture or cryosurgery of the kidney, and the text on the back side is misleading to say the least. It addresses itself to both 'the aspiring student' and the 'practicing professional' and promises 'detailed, all-inclusive reviews of every useful topic' (sic!). In fact, it does give you the rundown on all pretty advanced, some pretty fringy and in many cases non-current, future or experimental technologies that certainly haven't found their way to either your local academic centre or your own modern urology practice. The lack of percutaneous kidney access (without a robot) in a book that carries'contemporary' in its title seems a no-no.
Conclusion: worth your time and money if you work academically or are really really 'into' urologic ultrasound.
Just the facts:
196 pages, hard-cover, high-quality binding and paper (no light reflection), 18 chapters can be read at 15-30 minutes each, very well-edited (typos, layout, textflow - all excellent). Target audience: Upper professional/ surgical specialist level (not suited for medical students). ... Read more
