Reviews

From the reviews: “The book not only brings readers up-to-date on the cutting-edge technologies in the field of urology, it also provides well-balanced discussions of basic science and clinical outcomes. Physicians involved in the delivery of care to urological patients with benign or malignant disease will greatly appreciate this book. The text is supported by a number of clear illustrations and concise summary tables that make it easy to follow and understand.” (Jaspreet Singh, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2010)
