Editorial Reviews
Review
"Meredith Campbell would be proud of this newest edition...Nearly 4000 pages of practical information [cover] every aspect of urology...With the introduction of new techniques and minimally invasive approaches, we need these volumes to bring us up to speed." JAMA
"Everything a physician needs to know about urologic disease is contained in these pages. All Urologists should have Campbell's Urology in their office as a definitive reference. Also recommended to all Health Science libraries as a general reference text."
The Electric Review, January-February 2005
"The fact that Campbell's has been around for five decades evidences how invaluable this text has become to the medical community. Aside from its value to practicing physicians, Professors of Medicine have used the book as a teaching tool to help residents begin to explore the sub-specialty of Urology. The 8th edition should only continue the tradition of using Meredith Campbell's treatise to instruct aspiring physicians."
The Electric Review, March-April 2005 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The encyclopedic bible of urology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Campbell's Urology (4-Volume Set) (Hardcover)
This book is the most extensive single source of urologic information available. It covers all basic aspects of urology in a fairly complete manner. The main drawbacks are:1)Reference authors quoted directly in text. This makes the book fairly diffcult to read in a fluid manner and adds extra length to the already lengthy text. Gillenwater is a much more readble text. 2)Some chapters need a better overall framework. The best example of this is the chapter on adrenal pathology which does not provide a very good thorough to the asymptomatic adrenal mass, by far the most common adrenal problem. 3)Often excessive discussion regarding all the studies for and against an issue. I feel that it would be better to state that an issue is unresolved and then list some appropriate ways of attacking the problem. 4)Certain chapters are written in the 1st person. The chapter on the technique of radical retropubic prostatectomy is a personal account and not a reference chapter. MAny innovations from other centers are missing making this chapter somewhat biased. Overall an excellent and authoratative view or urology

The basis for any urology library,
By A Customer
This review is from: Campbell's Urology (3-Volume Set) (Hardcover)
Medicine is obviously a rapidly evolving field and most medical texts receive a periodic retooling. All revisions should be as thorough and meaningful as the Seventh edition of Campbell's. The text has been sucessfully expanded where appropriate and each section further honed. Figures are elegant, pertinent, and well rendered. The references are all encompassing and as current as one can expect in a volume such as this. If there are any hesitations about updating from the sixth edition (which was also a vast improvement from the fifth) I hope to assuage them, encourage the reader and congratulate the authors.

The bible of Urology....,
This review is from: Campbell's Urology (4-Volume Set) (Hardcover)
If you need to know urology, then you need this set of book. This edition is set up very well. The 4 books make it easier to look up info. It covers all the major topics in urology and is as up to date as any book can be.
