Useful book.
This is a nice overview of urology.The chapters are a quick read and well put together.This is a good intro to the diagnosis, and treatment of urologic diseases.While this is a good book for people at all levels of medical education, I think it is best for upper level medical students and interns.

Product Description

This excellent and superbly illustrated text provides surgical trainees and non specialists with an updated and extensively revised account of the urological disorders of childhood . The second edition reflects the many advances and innovations in paediatric urology since the first edition was published in 2002 and incorporates suggestions and feedback from readers and reviewers of the first edition of Essentials of Paediatric Urology. There are new chapters on "The Child as Patient" that highlights the important differences in the approach to caring for children and adults, and provides clarification on legal and ethical issues concerning consent; and, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery, reflecting the innovative advances in effective patient care; and a new multiple choice question chapter with cross-references to the text, as requested by many readers of the first edition, thus providing an aide-memoire for those undergoing speciality examinations.

This popular text was never intended to duplicate the large reference books written primarily for specialists. Instead it fulfils a unique role as the only textbook of paediatric urology written primarily for trainees and those practising adult urology, paediatric surgery and paediatric urology . The second edition continues to meet this need as well as providing a ready source of reference for non-specialists including paediatricians and nurses.

Like the first edition, the new edition is accessible and concise with a visual format characterized by extensive use of colour illustrations, flow charts and diagrams.

Great book
I liked this book a lot.While it is not the last work on most topics, it gives a very nice overview of LOTS of different things in urology.I think it is a very nice book for the urology resident or non-urology doc, as it gives a quick one or two page read on most topics in urology.It is also helpful as a jumping off point for the boards, since it hits on most major topics.I did a lot of making notes on the margins of this book, adding to the overview with more current info as well as crossing out things that I did not like or were a bit out of date.Even given that this is a very nice book that gives a lot of bang for your buck.
