Product Description: 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.
This handbook provides a comprehensive summary of urological disease
and its management, in a form that is concise, relevant to the target
audience and readily available. While the description of urological
conditions is comprehensive, the emphasis is on the practical approach
to the conditions which are likely to be encountered. The significance
and appropriate management of common symptoms is described, providing
(on a single page) a summary of the essential approach to a specific
presenting complaint, be that haematuria, scrotal pain or bedwetting.
Common urological operations are described, to allow the General
Practitioner, Accident and Emergency doctor, nurse or surgical trainee,
rapid access to information concerning indications, pre-operative
assessment, consent, and complications and their management.
