The second edition is an important update written by some of the legends of the specialty.Readers should be reminded that this is an overview of surgical techniques...It should be used as a complement to the more comprehensive references and textbooks of urology and pediatric urology." -DOODY'S BOOK REVIEW, 3 stars
