Editorial Reviews

Review

"In the preface of this offering the editors claim that they present a fresh, practical and concise textbook, covering vital issues that the urologist must face on a daily basis in the office. This claim is certainly justified and, as a basic text for the general urologist or urological trainee, I found it to be quite superb. ... it is very consistent in style and standard ... While the authorship contains many of the famous names of urology, the presented material benefits greatly from the 'coal-face experience' of the majority of the authors. ... The full range of general urology is covered, and while topics are presented in a didactic manner, the opinions presented are fair and well balanced.... It is comprehensive, authoritative and extremely useful for the general urologist. I certainly intend referring to it and can see a requirement for future editions as changes in office urological practice occur." - British Journal of Surgery
