Full Description
The new fifth edition of the Oxford Handbook of Urology is a comprehensive and concise handbook encompassing the whole of urology in an easily digestible format with the most current and up-to-date guidelines and recommendations. It spans all topics including urological cancer, stones, infection, bladder outlet obstruction, incontinence, paediatric urology, trauma and erectile dysfunction, and male infertility. Essentially, it also covers the basics of patient assessment, investigation, and important basic science, helpful not only to urology doctors taking the FRCS exam, but also a useful tool particularly for medical students, general surgeons, A&E doctors, GPs, nurses, and allied health professionals. It provides bite-sized topics covering every part of the urology curriculum and is valuable as a quick reference during clinical duties in clinics, theatre, A&E, on call, and as a reference text for revision.
