Urology is a specialty that notoriously receives little attention in
medical school, yet it makes up a sizeable portion of the workload in
emergency departments and also in primary care. Urological emergencies
can often be managed simply but require the appropriate knowledge and
skills. Emergency urology is often covered very superficially alongside
general surgery or in excessive detail within voluminous urology
textbooks.
This book is different: it consists of concise, well-structured
chapters, with an accessible and easily digestible style. The content is
clinically-based and includes a number of clinical photographs and
radiological investigations.
This book will appeal to all doctors, including those rotating through
surgical and emergency medicine specialties, and those clinicians
approaching professional examinations worldwide. Medical students on
urology or emergency medicine placements, who are studying for their
exams will also find it invaluable. In addition, primary care doctors,
specialty nurses in urology and nurses in the emergency department may
also appreciate the clinically relevant content of the book.
The authors are all dedicated to education and teaching, and have
published extensively. In addition, they run a successful emergency
urology course in Cambridge, popular with clinicians and senior students
alike.
