Principles and Practice of Urology (2^nd Ed., Vol. 1 & 2)

The second edition of this two volume set has been fully revised to provide the most recent advances in the field of urology.

Divided into 20 sections, this comprehensive guide begins with an introduction to the basics of urology and presentation and investigation of associated diseases. The following sections provide extensive coverage of the various aspects of urology, including emergency urology, paediatric urology, female urology and urinary tract obstruction.

Volume two discusses surgical aspects, including reconstructive urology, transplant, uro-oncology and reproductive urology. Each section includes the various approaches such as open, laparoscopic, endourologic, microsurgical, prosthetic, tissue and genetic engineering, and robotic surgeries.

This new edition is well-illustrated with nearly 1000 images and tables.
