Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in urethral pathology : handbook of endourology

Handbook of Endourology contains five focused, review-oriented volumes that are ideal for students and clinicians looking for a comprehensive review rather than a whole course. Each volume is easily accessible through eBook format. Topics covered review both the endourological diagnosis and treatment of prostate, urethral, urinary bladder, upper urinary tract, and renal pathology. All chapters describe the most recent techniques, review the latest results, and analyze the most modern technologies. In the past ten years, the field of endourology has expanded beyond the urinary tract to include all urologic minimally invasive surgical procedures. Recent advancements in robotic and laparoscopic bladder surgery make this one of the fastest moving fields in medicine. As current textbooks are too time-consuming for busy urologists or trainees who also need to learn other areas of urology, this collection provides quick references and over 4000 images that are appropriate for fellows as well as those teaching in the field. * Offers review content for urologists in training and “refresher” content for experts in endourology * Explores new surgical techniques and technology through review-level content and extensive images of pathologies * Includes over 500 images per volume; images taken from more than 4000 endourologic procedures performed annually at the editor’s hospital Content: Front matter,Copyright,Contributors,Preface,AcknowledgmentsEntitled to full textChapter 1 - Anatomy of the Urethra, Pages 1-9, Răzvan Mulţescu, Emanuel Alexandrescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 2 - Optical Internal Urethrotomy in Males, Pages 11-63, Petrişor Geavlete, Răzvan Mulţescu, Mihai Drăguţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 3 - Urethral Stents, Pages 65-88, Petrişor Geavlete, Răzvan Mulţescu, Gheorghe Niţă, Cristian Moldoveanu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 4 - Urethral Dilations in Males, Pages 89-95, Răzvan Mulţescu, Mihai Drăguţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 5 - Endoscopic Treatment of Urethral Strictures in Women, Pages 97-104, Răzvan Mulţescu, Mihai Drăguţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 6 - Treatment of Urethral Lithiasis and Foreign Bodies, Pages 105-127, Petrişor Geavlete, Răzvan Mulţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 7 - Endoscopic Treatment of Urethral Tumors, Pages 129-149, Petrişor Geavlete, Răzvan Mulţescu, Mihai Drăguţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 8 - Endoscopic Management of Urethral Trauma, Pages 151-160, Petrişor Geavlete, Răzvan Mulţescu, Mihai Drăguţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 9 - Difficult Urethro-Vesical Catheterization, Pages 161-170, Răzvan Mulţescu, Dragoş Georgescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 10 - Endoscopic Treatment of Urinary Incontinence, Pages 171-188, Petrişor Geavlete, Cristian Persu, Răzvan Mulţescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 11 - Endoscopic Management of Urethral Abnormalities, Pages 189-198, Petrişor Geavlete, Mihai Drăguţescu, Răzvan Mulţescu, Bogdan Geavlete Chapter 12 - Verumontanum, Pages 199-214, Petrişor Geavlete, Răzvan Mulţescu, Victor Mirciulescu, Bogdan Geavlete Index, Pages 215-222
