This review is from: Adult and Pediatric Urology (3-Volume Set) (Includes a Card to Return to Receive the Free CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I bought the first edition of this set over a decade ago, it was superb then and hard to imagine it could be improved. The fourth edition shows what can be done by knowledgable urologists who have carefully thought out how to make mastering the specialty as easy as possible. The text is comprehensive and explains each clinical condition completely but not verbosely. I have really been stunned by the excellence of Adult and Pediatric Urology and I can't recommend it highly enough.
