✦ Synopsis

Although most clinical urologists use various basic endourological techniques in their practices, the complex upper tract pathology and anatomy often requires more advanced endoscopic skills and instrumentation. In Advanced Endourology: The Complete Clinical Guide, leading national and international urologists in the field of endourology describe standard and advanced endoscopic procedures for treating upper tract pathology. The authors provide step-by-step instructions for the latest endoscopic procedures, ranging from upper urinary tract calculi and strictures to urothelial cancer.
Authoritative and highly instructive, Advanced Endourology: The Complete Clinical Guide offers active urologists and urology residents not only a comprehensive, illustrated guide to endourological procedures-particularly the more advanced techniques-but also a practical means to expand the range and scope of the procedures they perform.
