Primer on Urology
Description
The Primer on Urology is an entirely new approach to reviewing the field of urology.
The principle is to cover the whole subject of urology in an up-to-date textbook, with not only chapters written by key opinion leaders within Europe but also a significant commentary on each section from a senior North American urologist. The book is based on the European Association of Urology Guidelines, which are updated regularly with a new release every year.
This will be a valuable book for anybody interested in urology but is designed in particular for the resident as well as the practising urologist who wants a crisp update of the latest developments in the field as well as the basic knowledge, all of which is succinctly presented with reference to the latest evidence-based approach to the subject.
