Review

REVIEW OF PREVIOUS EDITION:


Clearly much thought has gone into its organization and compartmentalization, allowing this rather comprehensive book to be easily read and regularly consulted. The book also features a range of authors who have contributed to this dynamic field. The reader is ensured multiple perspectives and the wisdom of true authorities...All urologists reading this book should come away with a more extensive knowledge base regarding matters of female urology. - The Journal of Urology

2.0 out of 5 stars Fair Pelvic Floor Book, January 7, 2010

This review is from: Female Urology: Text with DVD, 3e (Hardcover)

Unfortunately, the writing is not descriptive enough for a medical student or resident to understand the material because Campbells Urology discussion on the Pelvic Floor also lacks teaching specifics. It is not officially an Atlas , however, it does include a DVD featuring several commonly practiced procedures but the filming is very amateurish with a far back over the surgeons shoulder view instead of a close up so that the point of view is 2-4 inches from the vaginal. The color balance in poor. They obviously film these procedures themselves and are not well versed in the operation of the camara. This is not a high definition DVD. The text can be considered self serving because it is presented as if the writers are the best in the world which again can be an unnecessary and poorly incorporated approach for a teaching video. The text suffers from the same. They need to also get a professional digital artist to better illustrate the diagrams and edit the jpegs. The opersative pictures are a low level pixel count probably 3-4 million while now 25 million pixel camara's are available. I really feel of all the pelvic floor text books in circulation this one is the least valuable from an education and production stand point. Clearly better and more technology savy surgeons are need to better shape this text. It has remained consistently behind the technological capabilities at the time of writing.

This review is from: Female Urology: Text with DVD, 3e (Hardcover)

This book is the best one out there on the subject of female urology. The book is by no means a replacement for the experience of a fellowship, but the book is a valuable resource for anyone doing a fellowship in female urology. Even if you do not do repairs as Dr. Raz does them, the book gives a thorough perspective on ways to safely perform a variety of complex operations with good success. Most chapters are descriptive enough that you get the idea of the operation. But again, without completing a fellowship or some other experience to gain significant mentored operative time in female urology, it would be nearly impossible to perform the majority of the procedures described in this book. I highly recommend this book for Fellows.
