Urological Complications of Pelvic Surgery and Radiotherapy

This text provides, in a single volume, an up-to-date review of the complications in urological surgery. All therapeutic invasive procedures carry an element of risk, and this is particularly true as far as pelvic surgery is concerned where the main methods of treatement are open surgery, endoscopic surgery and radiotherapy. The initial chapters discuss commom complications and the avoidance of pitfalls, with reference to long-term results. Further chapters look at complications arising from endoscopic surgery and the role of ultrasonography which has become a basic tool in diagnosis.
