Building on the success of the first edition, this extensively revised and expanded second edition of Emergencies in Urology sets a new standard in the field. Edited by five internationally recognized experts, this authoritative textbook closes one of the last remaining gaps in urological literature: the systematic management of urgent and emergent clinical scenarios in urology. This edition reflects major advances in diagnostics, surgical techniques, and perioperative management. It includes fully updated chapters on urological trauma, urosepsis, urinary obstruction, oncological emergencies, and intra- and postoperative complications—complemented by new chapters on iatrogenic pathology, undiversion, and contralateral renal autotransplantation. The book also incorporates current insights from reconstructive, pediatric, and transplant urology. A hallmark of this work is the unique combination of didactic algorithms and rich illustrations by acclaimed medical artist Stephan Spitzer, and over 60 real-life case vignettes contributed by leading clinicians from around the world. These personal reports offer invaluable insight into the practical and often challenging decision-making required in emergency situations. Emergencies in Urology is not just a clinical reference—it is an educational tool that bridges theory and practice, experience and innovation. It is essential reading for urologists, emergency physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and all healthcare professionals involved in the acute care of urological patients.

Der vorliegende Band der Reihe WissenKompakt Medizin erklärt in allgemeinverständlicher Weise die aktuellsten Therapien und Behandlungsmethoden aus dem Bereich der Urologie.Es wird erklärt, wann eine Prostatabiopsie angezeigt ist und welche Vorteile Verfahren haben, die durch eine Magnetresonanztomographie der Prostata unterstützt werden. Am Beispiel des Prostatakarzinoms wird exemplarisch dargestellt, wie aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung in neue Behandlungsansätze fließen. Es wird gezeigt, wie die "navigierte Chirurgie" medizinische Bildgebung während eines operativen Eingriffs direkt einblendet, um dem Chirurgen den "optimalen Weg" zu zeigen.Auch Behandlungsmethoden wie das DaVinci-System - ein hochtechnologisches, minimal-invasives Operationssystem, das zur radikalen Entfernung der Prostata, im Bereich der Nierentumorchirurgie oder der urologisch-rekonstruktiven Chirurgie zum Einsatz kommt - werden ebenso vorgestellt wie Techniken zur Harnableitung, diedie Blase bei Krebserkrankungen sehr gut ersetzen können.
