The 5-Minute Urology Consult, Second Edition is a comprehensive, easily accessible reference guide for any practitioner encountering urologic symptoms or disease.

The book has been reorganized so that all standard 2-page entries appear in alphabetical order, and pages are tabbed for quicker access. The short entries appear in alphabetical order in their own section after the standard entries.

A companion Website features additional content, an image bank, and information on all current drugs, herbal medications, and alternative therapies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This excellent book does superbly what it is intended to do: quickly provide the reader with the essential facts and action items needed to care for patients with almost any urologic problem. I looked up a few topics (eg, epididymitis) on the Internet, assumed that I knew very little about each topic, and found, as claimed, that the information in this book was more readily obtained and accurate. I will keep this book handy for myself and recommend the same for my colleagues in my department. It seems to me that every urologic patient care environment should have a hard copy or the online version within easy reach. I recommend it highly."

This review is from: The 5-Minute Urology Consult (Hardcover)

I liked this book a lot. While it is not the last work on most topics, it gives a very nice overview of LOTS of different things in urology. I think it is a very nice book for the urology resident or non-urology doc, as it gives a quick one or two page read on most topics in urology. It is also helpful as a jumping off point for the boards, since it hits on most major topics. I did a lot of making notes on the margins of this book, adding to the overview with more current info as well as crossing out things that I did not like or were a bit out of date. Even given that this is a very nice book that gives a lot of bang for your buck.
