简介：
This book is an excellent compilation of urologic topics made simple and easy to read. It is certainly a very useful addition to any clinician’s library, urologist and nonurologist alike.
There are 14 chapters, ranging from urologic problems encountered during pregnancy, screening and early detection of urologic cancers, prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, and complementary medicine. Unlike many texts in which some topics may become obsolete by the time the book is published, I found these chapters right up to date with some of the most current references and citations.
The section on “imaging in urology” and “hematuria” demonstrated excellent radiographs and pictures of various urologic anomalies. The chapter on the “evaluation and medical management of kidney stones” is one of the most comprehensive texts I have ever read. The chapter is geared more to the internist or nephrologist, although it still is important for the urologist to understand.
The chapters on “benign prostatic hypertrophy” and “erectile dysfunction” appear to be written for the urologist in training rather than the practicing urologist; however, they are still a very good review. The book also includes a chapter on complementary nutrition in urology, which, more and more, is becoming a commonly discussed subject in urologists’ offices.
The section on urologic problems during pregnancy is a “must read” for any urologist. I also found the pediatric potpourri a very practical, concise conglomeration of commonly encountered pediatric urologic problems. Jonathan Ross does a nice job of presenting both sides of a controversial subject, but gives the reader the preferred accepted treatment that most urologists would perform.
The authors are mostly from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and other contributors are from well-known institutions in the United States.
A major bonus is that the book comes with an eBook/PDA CD-ROM, so that the reader can download the entire text into one’s computer or PDA. Although the textbook is about 240 pages and could conceivably be carried in a laboratory coat pocket, the PDA CD-ROM is certainly a practical and desirable feature.
The figures and drawings are excellent, and the text in general gives an excellent summary of important topics in urology that we encounter on an everyday basis. Although some sections are rather detailed and others somewhat short and concise, I found this book a fast read and to give a good overall review. I would certainly recommend it to general and urologic clinicians in training, as well as to practicing urologists. It is a very valuable addition to the library of any academic and private practice urologist.
