Urologic Prostheses

"The book is best suited for the practicing urologist, but can also be used by the medical student and other interested allied healthcare professionals. The authors are all credible and well-known. The book spans the entire gamut of urologic prostheses, including tissue engineering, injectables, various stents and finally penile prostheses. The best features are the short concise chapters written by respected authorities in the field. All the chapters are quite comprehensive. This is a high-quality, well written, timely book. This is unique in the field, for there are few, if any similar books. A book such as this is needed to keep the practitioner updated on these ever-changing matters." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal "The layout of the book is clear and logical and the structure of each of the individual author's contributions is uniform and well illustrated...a useful reference text for trainees in urology and urologists who practice prosthetic surgery." -ANZ J. Surg.
