abnormalities and urinary tract defects. The management of cancers,
kidney stones, ureteral stones, renal cysts and urinary tract
obstruction is under the scope of this field. Modern urological surgery

endoscopic equipment, real-time ultrasound guidance and lasers. The

ureters, kidneys, bladder tissue and penis, is an important area of
urological surgery. This book elucidates new procedures of urological
surgery in a comprehensive manner. It strives to provide a fair idea

pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the
modern concepts and applications of the subject.
