The Fourth Edition of Urodynamics Made Easy provides a concise and user-friendly guide to the principles and clinical practice of urodynamics as applied to the routine diagnosis and management of patients. The emphasis of this book is on the ethos behind the practice of urodynamics and how this needs to be integrated into the evaluation of all patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. It offers clear information presented in a visually appealing and easily accessible format.

Overview of female urological reconstructive surgery with illustrations, photographs, and diagrams spanning all surgical procedures in the field Functional Reconstruction of the Female Urinary Tract and Gynaeco-Urology is a comprehensive reference text encompassing the entire field of reconstructive female urology, delivering in-depth knowledge of structure, function, and dysfunction of the female urinary tract and imparting a thorough understanding of the principles of urodynamics related to lower urinary tract reconstruction. In this Second Edition, authors Christopher Chapple and Nadir Osman have retained many of the original descriptions from the first edition in tribute to the work of Richard Turner-Warwick, who is considered the father of functional urological reconstruction in the United Kingdom. Where appropriate, the text and comments have been updated to reflect developments in the field. In Functional Reconstruction of the Female Urinary Tract and Gynaeco-Urology, readers will find: Detailed descriptions of surgical principles and procedures with 1600 colour illustrations based on original drawings by Paul Richardson.“Tricks of the trade”, “pearls of wisdom”, and other original concepts related to the field.The principles, art, and philosophy of surgery, as well as details on instruments and surgical access to the urinary tract.Information on surgical management of conditions that a specialist surgeon working in this field will encounter in their clinical practice.Functional Reconstruction of the Female Urinary Tract and Gynaeco-Urology is an essential one-of-a-kind reference for surgeons at any level of practice, regardless of training or experience. The text is also valuable for advanced students in related programmes of study.

The human prostate gland is of undoubted importance in reproductive physiology and is one of the commonest causes of clinical urological problems in the male patient. Despite the wealth of published lit­ erature relating to the prostate gland surprisingly little is understood about its neural innervation, the influence of pharmacological factors and its precise physiological functions. Indeed, benign disorders of the prostate gland including benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder neck dyssynergia and inflammatory disorders of the prostate (prostatitis, prostatodynia) although well recognised clinically, are as yet poorly characterised and understood. It was not until the late 1960s that the subject of urodynamics, which for the first time allowed scientific assessment of the function of the lower urinary tract, was introduced. The first section of this book considers recent advances in our understanding of the innervation of the bladder and prostate gland and the changes in bladder function which accompany prostate medi­ ated bladder outflow obstruction. The clinical consequence of benign prostatic hyperplasia in many patients is bladder outflow obstruction and although the traditional treatment of these conditions is by the use of ablative surgery, in recent years a number of new modalities have been investigated and are reviewed in the second section of the book.

? Benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) is one of the most common diseases in older men and it is caused by an histopathological condition called “benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Clinical manifestations of BPH include symptoms, signs and sequelae of bladder outlet obstruction caused by the enlarged prostate.

Imagine the plight of a young woman, some time during the thousands of years before th the mid-18 century, who, soon after a dif? cult childbirth, ? nds she can no longer keep from leaking urine. She is standing in the chill winter wind, her urine-soaked clothes clinging wet against her thighs as she comforts her crying baby knowing that she faces a life of misery, shame and social ostracism. Or imagine the middle-aged wife of a tenant farmer on the remote central Illinois plain, straining with her husband to lift a heavy log that has fallen on their only milk cow only to feel a deep tearing sensation and discover a large mass protruding between her legs. Gripped by fear, she cannot know what has happened to her or how she will care for her family if she can no longer help with the dif? cult tasks needed to live. We must be grateful to the generations of physicians before us who have pioneered treatments and developed preventions for the pelvic ? oor disorders that have affected women throughout time. Each decade during the last 150 years has brought new insights, new operations, and new medicines to help women who suffer from these debilitating conditions. At ? rst, surgical treatments were so dangerous that they could only be s- gested for the most severe of cases, but advances in anesthetic and surgical safety now make them available to the majority of women.

Practical Urology – Essential Principles and Practice focuses on aspects of urology which are often forgotten in contemporary practice, but nevertheless are the subject of incremental advances and form the basis of much of the non-oncological practice.

This updated volume provides a concise evidence based overview of the field of contemporary urological practice. There are new chapters covering urologic imaging, the upper tract urothelial carcinoma, the treatment of adult male hormonal disorders, the management of urethral stricture disease, and the treatment of renal cancer. The anatomy and physiology of the urinary tract, the basis and principles for development of urologic diseases, and the evaluation and management of urologic diseases are also covered. Urologic Principles and Practice is relevant for practicing urologists, urology trainees, allied health professionals, medical students, and researchers.

The anatomy and physiology of the urinary tract, the basis and principles for development of urologic diseases, and the evaluation and management of urologic diseases are also covered.

The Primer on Urology is an entirely new approach to reviewing the field of urology.The principle is to cover the whole subject of urology in an up-to-date textbook, with not only chapters written by key opinion leaders within Europe but also a significant commentary on each section from a senior North American urologist. The book is based on the European Association of Urology Guidelines, which are updated regularly with a new release every year.This will be a valuable book for anybody interested in urology but is designed in particular for the resident as well as the practising urologist who wants a crisp update of the latest developments in the field as well as the basic knowledge, all of which is succinctly presented with reference to the latest evidence-based approach to the subject.

The field of underactive bladder is a poorly recognised yet important clinical condition, affecting up to a third of patients over 65. In this book, the authors look at the field of underactive bladder and its presentation, clinical diagnosis, potential etiopathogenesis and treatment.While the editors address a great deal of background information, they clearly identify that many limitations still exist to clinical diagnosis and urodynamic evaluation, and in particular a dearth of appropriate treatment options. This complex condition needs to be recognized and identified in the routine evaluation and clinical management of patients.
