As such, it is an essential reference for practising radiologists and urologists.

In the last few years, there has been a significant volume of research published in the field of urinary dysfunction. Urinary incontinence can affect both men and women of all age-groups with varying degrees of severity. It is becoming an increasingly dominant health care issue with enormous economic burden and places considerable impact on the overall quality of life, impairing several areas with physical, social, emotional and sexual limitations. This up-to-date and exhaustively written textbook addresses a very difficult, underestimated, and probably inadequately considered clinical subject. This book provides comprehensive information on urinary incontinence and is primarily intended for medical practitioners, residents and medical students for daily practice. However the general public will find this book easy to read and provides ample information that is useful in understanding urinary incontinence.

Hypospadias is the most common birth defect. But because it affects the penis, it is rarely discussed, and up until now there have been no published resources for parents on the subject. This book solves that problem. And helps parents avoid the two most common mistakes that unfortunately occur far too often: 1. Choosing the wrong surgeon. 2. Not telling their children that they were born with hypospadias, which can lead to psychological trauma when the boys discover anomalies in their penis as an adolescent.

If you (or a loved one) have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, danger lies ahead. Efforts will be made to either treat it unnecessarily or with procedures with risks of side effects so severe you will regret it. The Prostate Cancer Industry is a vast array of medical device manufacturers, heath care facilities, physicians and others who generate over a billion dollars annually from treating prostate cancer of which only 20% is actually life threatening. Efforts will be made to scare you into believing you need immediate treatment with most of you being encouraged to have surgery or other treatment provided by the urologist who diagnosed your prostate cancer or an associate. DON'T RUSH INTO TREATMENT until you have obtained an independent second or third opinion from a medical oncologist or internist unrelated to the physician who diagnosed it. To survive prostate cancer AND the prostate cancer industry you must educate yourself on prostate cancer and the different ways it can be treated. Keep in mind that what is in your doctor's best interest may not always be in your best interest. The author selected the non-invasive treatment of proton therapy because of its established effectiveness and least risk of serious side effects. He describes his surprisingly pleasant journey through prostate treatment and encourages you to consider proton therapy as your treatment.

Diese Operationslehre ist in den Jahren 1975 bis 1981 entstanden. Sie tragt den gleichen Titel wie die 1962 erschienene Monographie. Zwischen beiden Veroffentlichungen liegen fast 20 Jahre. Als Folge des groBen technischen Fort- schritts wahrend dieser zwei Dekaden muBte diese zweiteOperationslehre voll- standig neu geschrieben werden. Die wichtigste dieser technischen Errungenschaften war die EinfUhrung der Hopkins-Optiken, denen wir eine bisher nicht gekannte Bildhelligkeit und eine Qualitat der Abbildung verdanken, die ganz neue MaBstabe gesetzt hat. Fast ebenso entscheidend war fur den Verfasser, daB er nicht nur auszubilden- den, jungeren Arzten mit einem Glasfibermitbeobachter, sondern auch sich selbst auf gespeicherten Farbfernsehfilmen beim Operieren zusehen konnte. Dieses Mitbeobachten der eigenen Arbeit und der Schuler war von unschatz- barem Wert fUr die Verbesserung der eigenen Technik und das Erkennen von Fehlern. Die dadurch gewonnenen neuen Erkenntnisse sind hier verwertet wor- den und werden, wie ich hoffe, den didaktischen Nutzen des Buches steigern. Diesem didaktischen Anliegen dient auch eine ausfUhrliche Darstellung der Grundlagen der Resektionstechnik, in der die einzelnen Arten des Schneidens anhand schematischer Darstellungen erlautert werden. Die spezielle Resektions- technik schildert das Vorgehen bei den verschiedenen Blasenhalskonfiguratio- nen. Eingeschlossen wurden auch die transurethralen Eingriffe bei Blasentumoren, bei Blasensteinen sowie die Anwendung der Zeiss-Schlinge und das Einlegen von Ureterdauerkathetern. Die Sonderformen der Elektroresektion bei den einzelnen Krankheitsbildern werden ebenso ausfUhrlich geschildert wie die Vor- und Nachbehandlung des Patienten. Darstellungen der operativen Technik haben eine alte Tradition. Bedeutende Meister der operativen Medizin haben ihr Wissen in Operationslehren vermittelt.

Every year nearly a quarter of a million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Dr. Randall is a pathologist who spent his career diagnosing other men with prostate cancer until one day it was his turn. Since then he has become one of the thousands of men who lived through, and with, the uncertainties that surround a prostate cancer diagnosis. Like most men in this situation, grappling with very important decisions with very significant consequences to their bodies, he wanted to know what to expect, both immediately after treatment and later during recovery. What Dr. Randall found however was that despite so many men being treated for prostate cancer there is little more than advertisements and short personal statements on the web and very little patient generated material in print.
Perceiving a need, Dr. Randall chose to write via his own personal experiences the book he had been looking for - an account of exactly what a prostate cancer patient can expect to happen to him; both from the perspective of a patient and as a physician. The reader will have a very first person look at the trials and tribulations along each step of the prostate cancer path: diagnosis, treatment options, robotic prostatectomy, post-operative care issues, and perhaps most prominently on the minds of many men, dealing with issues of post prostatectomy erectile dysfunction.
Dr. Randall not only shares his very personal experiences, but also takes the reader behind the physician/hospital curtain to offer a glimpse into the physician-to-physician interplay that most patients never see. Interspersed in the narrative is enough anatomy, physiology, and pathology to facilitate the lay reader's understanding of the topic without being overdone.
But what sets this book apart is Dr. Randal's self-depreciating style that takes a serious topic and makes it humorous. This book is a short and easy read that is a must for anyone - the man with prostate cancer, his partner, family, and friends - wanting to look forward to a life beyond a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Whether You're A Newly Diagnosed Bladder Cancer Patient, A Survivor, Or A Friend Or Relative Of Either, This Book Offers Help. The Completely Updated And Revised 100 Questions & Answers About Bladder Cancer, Second Edition Gives You Authoritative, Practical Answers To Your Questions About Current Treatment Options, Post-Treatment Quality Of Life, Coping Strategies, Sources Of Support, And Much More. Written By A Prominent Urologist, With "Insider" Advice From Actual Patients, This Book Is An Invaluable Resource For Anyone Coping With The Physical And Emotional Turmoil Of This Frightening Disease.

For the last thirty years, Dr. Krisiloff has personally cared for and cured more than 10,000 patients-men and women-who suffer from chronic urological problems. With a simple holistic approach that has no risk, he has seen cures in close to 90% of his patients who suffer from these problems.Literally 90 million men and women in the United States experience these urinary problems at one time or another, Estimates are that one quarter of all visits to urologists annually are from these complaints. Yet until now, university scientists and physicians will readily admit they have no known explanation for these problems, nor do they know how to effectively treat these problems.With the Krisiloff Diet, a cure is now possible for the problems of prostatitis, epididymitis, falsely elevated PSA blood tests, bed wetting in children, urgency incontinence in women, urethral syndrome (in Dr. Krisiloff's opinion this is falsely diagnosed as interstitional cystitis), increased urination at night (which greatly disturbs sleep), and frequent urination in the day (greatly affecting quality of life), unnecessary prostate surgery for men can be avoided and unnecessary surgery for women for urine incontinence can also be avoided.All of this can be accomplished at absolutely zero cost, with absolutely zero harm to the patient, and the results can be seen in as little as four to eight weeks. With its simple holistic approach, the Krisiloff Diet could supplant all the expensive methods now used. It could become the standard initial treatment for so many common medical problems, often circumventing costly and ineffective traditional methods. The savings for healthcare would be enormous-close to $40 billion dollars by estimates-once it is realizes that expensive medications and surgeries are unnecessary measures.Dr. Krisiloff has empitically discovered the "holy grail" explanation for inflammation in the body. The discovery is that caffeine, alcohol and hot spices are responsible for causing chronic inflammation in the body, and they specifically lead to chronic urinary problems as well as other common medical condition such as Gastroesophigeal Reflux Disease (GERD), Arthritis, Sinusitis, and headaches. There is even reason to believe that they are responsible for some cases of prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and colon and breast cancers.Prostate Cancer represents 10% of all cancer diagnosed in men each year. 1 in 6 men will have prostate cancer in their lifetime and 29,000 men die yearly from prostate cancer- the second leading cause of cancer death yearly in men.The beauty of the diet is how simple it is. Just by stopping the consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, hardly a sacrifice if people can be cured of so many common medical problems, patients on the Krisiloff Diet not only see their symptoms disappear, but they uniformly report that they feel better than they have in yearly. They sleep better, are invigorated, and although not intended as a weight loss diet they often end up losing 5-6 pounds in the 1st month alone.Prostate cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in men. More and more research suggests that inflammation from chronic prostatitis can cause chronic cellular change in the prostate, which can eventually lead to cell mutation and prostate cancer. It therefore empirically makes sense that if the Krisiloff Diet can prevent or cure prostatitis that it might also prevent prostate cancer from developing. Studies have already shown that alcohol and caffeine can increase the risk of women getting breast cancer.It is hoped that this simple, highly effective approach could initiate a new paradigm for the millions and millions of patients who are presently undergoing many expensive, unnecessary tests, procedures and medications. With no risk, and no harm, and no medical costs

Around 32,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. It differs from most other cancers in the body, in that small areas of cancer within the prostate are very common and may not grow or cause any problems for many years. It is often it is diagnosed during a routine checkup so most men that are diagnosed often have no warning signs.
About one in three men over the age of 50 have some cancer cells within their prostate and nearly all men over the age of 80 have a small area of prostate cancer. It may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms, but early prostate cancer usually causes no symptoms.
Since the first edition of this book was published in 2003, there have been several groundbreaking studies completed that have changed the way that certain categories of the disease are treated. This new edition of the book includes sections on radiotherapy, which is now known to be an effective treatment for men with residual prostate cancer after surgery, and a heavily updated chapter on Advanced Disease.

Over 200,000 times a year in the U.S. a patient will leave his urologist's office having been told he has prostate cancer. What the patient thought to be a disease of old men from which they do not die, now becomes a very complicated and frustrating dilemma about which treatment to pursue. "The Decision" offers the reader an insider's view to the key issues necessary for a well thought-out treatment plan peculiar only to him. Being a urologist who treats prostate cancer and having had the disease as well, uniquely positions the author in offering guidance to the newly diagnosed prostate cancer patient. Dr. McHugh outlines a novel and multifaceted approach, using an eclectic mix of medical insight, personal stories and humor, to aid the reader in making his "Decision." The US Review of Books - Carolyn Davis A urologist, McHugh, was inspired to write this informative book after he developed prostate cancer and dealt with treatment options as a patient. Part guidebook, part autobiography, it is intended for men who are facing the often perplexing choices of potential treatments. "Prostate stories" and more of McHugh's autobiography complete the book. The Decision is recommended for its combination of empirical tools, personal anecdotes, and overall compassion. Clarion ForeWard Five Star out of Five Book Review: McHugh has written an invaluable tool for the man facing the decision of how to treat his prostate cancer. This reviewer too knows of what he speaks, having been diagnosed with prostate cancer nearly six years ago. He had robotic surgery and is living an active, cancer-free life.
