Approximately 20% of all surgical operations and a similar percentage of surgical emergencies are urological in nature. However, often doctors have very limited experience of the many common and varied conditions encountered in this important surgical specialty. For the doctor or nurse expected to provide the initial assessment and management of a condition with which he or she has had very limited experience, this book provides an invaluable source of information and advice. This applies not only to SHOs and specialist registrars on urology and surgical rotations, but also to General Practitioners, Accident and
Emergency staff and the growing number of urological specialist nurses.
The Oxford Handbook of Urology, Second edition covers a wide spectrum of diseases and their treatment in the field of urology and surgical aspects of kidney, bladder, prostate and scrotal disorders. It aims to give a brief overview of many different urological subjects including urology emergencies, cancers, infections, children's disorders and kidney stone disease. It is designed so that it can be quickly and efficiently accessed by a range of people involved in patient care, including medical students, nurses, surgical and urology doctors and general practitioners.Readership: Aimed primarily at junior doctors and trainees in
urology and surgery, the book will also appeal to trainees in accident and emergency medicine; medical students on surgical rotations; consultant urologists; urology nurse practitioners; urology ward and theatre nurses; accident and emergency nurses, and general practitioners.

Review(s) from previous edition
"...It consists of 19 chapters, which present a pithy account of subjects ranging from incontinence, urology surgery and equipment, and stone disease. There is also a useful section entitled urological eponyms. This handbook is primarily aimed at the trainee, but I think it can be studied by trainees at all levels. FY1 and FY2 doctors would find it useful vade macum. Controversies are generally handled well, e.g. the section on screening of prostate cancer. Each topic is dealt with in sufficient detail to provide provision for examinations and I suspect if would be useful light reading for a candidate about to take the FRCS Urol. The authors are to be congratulated on yet another triumph in this excellent
series. - L Moffat, The Surgeon, June 2007
