Review quote:
"The book provides a general overview of urology with chapters addressing anatomy, diagnostic studies, and varied disease entities affecting the genitourinary system. Surgical procedures in addition to nonsurgical treatment strategies are reviewed. Typically, the common disorders are reviewed. The timeliness and the careful discussion of varied topics are important positive aspects of the book. Though no new chapters have been added, many chapters have been completely rewritten." "This continues to be a standard book for beginners in urologic education. It valuable for medical students and residents and also serves as a quick review for trained urologists. Although there are other such review books available, this one continues to stand out above all the rest. There have been significant changes in this edition and one can easily justify its purchase even if they possess the 15th edition."
