The Oxford Specialist Handbook of Urological Surgery returns fully updated for a second edition to guide the reader step-by-step through all types of urological operations. Including both background information on key urological problems and alternative surgical options, this Handbook is designed to guide the trainee through all aspects of urological surgery, from gaining clear and accurate consent to examining risks and complications of procedures.

With each chapter written by subspecialty experts, this Handbook is packed with tips and tricks that offer practical and theatre-based advice gleaned over years of theatre experience to aid the reader. It also includes helpful pointers on aspects of surgery including patient positioning, indications and contraindications, types of incisions, and choice of ideal instrument, alongside aftercare and follow-up for the patient.

Fully updated in accordance with new European guidelines and NICE clinical guidance, with extra topics on technological developments including robotic assisted surgery and a brand new chapter on female urology and incontinence, the Oxford Specialist Handbook of Urological Surgery is an essential resource for all urological trainees and junior doctors.
