Current Endourology (EPUB)

This book brings the reader up-to-date in the field of endourology which is continually evolving with the development of new techniques and technologies.

The book covers the management of urolithiasis, or kidney stones with techniques such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) – all commonly used to treat kidney and ureteral stones; it offers guidance on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the prostate and bladder with techniques such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), common procedures for conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder cancer; high-quality endoscopic imaging technologies, including flexible and rigid endoscopes to assist in diagnosis and treatment; laser technology; robot-assisted endourology; uteroscopy, for the diagnosis and treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).

This book offers a multi-disciplinary approach to endourology, promoting collaboration among urologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and nurses.
