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:

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.

Overactive Bladder in Clinical Practice provides a timely and comprehensive update on the overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. The symptoms of urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency or nocturia, now defined as the overactive bladder syndrome, have become a hot topic in urology, gynecology and urogynecology. Epidemiological data show very high disease prevalence (19%), particularly when compared with other chronic conditions such as diabetes (2%) and asthma (7%). OAB symptoms impact severely on patient’s quality of life, causing significant impairment of patient vitality and limiting their physical role, similar to diabetes.

The OAB syndrome involves all age groups, both sexes and is frequently found in neurogenic patients. This book will cover all aspects of OAB epidemiology, economics, pathophysiology, conservative, pharmaceutical and surgical and will be invaluable reading for residents and trainees in urology, gynecology and urogynecology.

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 book reviews the upper tract, pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction, recent advances in renal calculus disease, pharmacology of the bladder and functional disorders of the lower urinary tract.  It also addresses aspects of physiology of the lower tract and important issues of neurourology and urogynaecology.  Alongside this, with Laparoscopy becoming increasingly important, the subject is extensively covered in the context of an essential update on laparoscopic anatomy. 

Practical Urology – Essential Principles and Practice provides an important contribution to those who wish to have a global overview of what is new in functional urology.

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 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.
