"This is an excellent book due to its timeliness with new material, user friendly style, and the unique way it accommodates medical students, urology residents, and general medicine physicians who have a peripheral interest in urology issues.

Review

"This is the seventeenth edition of a unique general urology book that can be used by medical students for basic information, but also has enough detail to make it an excellent resource for first and second year urology residents....This is an excellent book due to its timeliness with new material, user friendly style, and the unique way it accommodates medical students, urology residents, and general medicine physicians who have a peripheral interest in urology issues. This is one of the better books for this audience. With the advances in urology since 2004, the new edition is definitely welcome." 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )

This review is from: Smith's General Urology, Seventeenth Edition (LANGE Clinical Medicine) (Paperback)

First of all i d like to say that i ordered the book the 1st of july and i had it here in greece in fourteen days only! Really convenient! When it comes to the book, i have to say it is very well organised in 45 chapters. The first 10 represent an introduction to urology and the rest give further information. Moreover, the 33th chapter was really helpfull, explaining acute renal failure, a confusing subject for students and some generalists. The only thing i want to mention is that, although the embryology chapter is well written it lacks of pictures and i struggled to understand the mechanism of the congenital deficiencies.

I'm a 4th year medical student going into urology, and this book has been great as I've prepared for my rotations in urology. Great information from what I've read thusfar.
