More Description

Traditionally, information on the management of urological emergencies has been available mainly in large general urological textbooks. Until now. Management of Urological Emergencies presents, in a single volume, a clear, practical account of all urological emergencies. The highly-illustrated book provides detailed discussions of the principles relevant to decision-making and clinical management of all types of urological emergencies. It is a quick reference guide to safe and effective treatment.

Covering the management of all aspects of upper and lower urinary tract trauma, obstruction, and infections, the book includes discussions of scrotal, penile, and oncological emergencies as well as the management of septic shock, renal failure, and medical co-morbidities associated with urological emergencies. The information is supported by algorithm charts and top quality radiographic scans, allowing for rapid instigation of the relevant investigations and effective, beneficial treatment.

The authors have international reputations in the investigation and management of genito-urinary trauma and reconstruction and they have gathered an excellent list of contributors. It is unusual to see a textbook that covers all of these emergency situations, this feature makes the book a valuable reference and essential reading when preparing for the FRCS (Urol) and other equivalent end-of-training exit examinations.
