due to an enlarged prostate. The procedure involves cutting away a
section of the prostate. This book is an introductory guide to
transurethral resection techniques for postgraduate medical
students. Divided into fourteen sections the text begins with
discussion on the history of uroendoscopy, and endoscopes and
resection instruments. The following chapters cover endoscopic
anatomy, anaesthesia and patient preparation, and different
surgical techniques for transurethral resection. The book concludes
with advice on post-operative care and potential complications and
their management. The text is enhanced by clinical photographs,
diagrams and tables. Key points Introductory guide to transurethral

This book considers all aspects of ureteroscopy and the dominant
role that it plays in the treatment of many urologic disorders.
Most diseases of the ureter and renal collecting system must be
considered for ureteroscopic diagnosis and/or treatment. This book
explores advancements of instrumentation such as endoscopes,
ancillary devices, endoscopic lithotripters, and ablative devices.
It also illuminates the most current diagnostic and therapeutic
techniques, including pre- and postoperative treatment, metabolic
management, and the role of chemotherapy in the upper tract.
Further, this book examines less common indications for
ureteroscopy such as strictures, foreign bodies, and diagnostic
dilemmas. Organized by situation or diagnosis, this book considers
all treatment options and notes the role of ureteroscopy before
exploring technical approaches, goals of treatment, detailed
techniques, staged treatments, potential complications, and
postoperative management. Advanced Ureteroscopy: A Practitioner's
Guide to Treating Difficult Problems is the definitive source for
the endoscopic approach to common and rare upper tract diseases,
serving urologic endoscopists, practicing urologists, residents,
and fellows.
This volume highlights and broadens our understanding of the
correct use and the possible contraindications of contrast agents
applied in radiology. Written by experts in the field, it not only
focuses on the chemistry, physiochemical properties and
pharmacokinetics of both iodinated and gadolinium-containing
contrast agents, but also on the relevant safety issues such as
frequency of their short- and long-term side effects and ways to
avoid them nephrotoxicity risk related to the iodinated contrast
agents NSF (nephrogenic systemic fibrosis) accumulation of
gadolinium in the brain use of contrast agents in pediatric
patients and pregnancy It also includes essential data on the use
of contrast agents, such as scanning protocols, in the context of
various clinical conditions. This comprehensive manual addresses
all professionals involved in radiological imaging and is an
invaluable tool for radiologists and technologists, as well as for
residents and clinicians.
Expert nursing care is vital to women's health, and successful
gynaecological treatment relies on a good partnership between the
woman and the health professional. Fully updated for its second
edition, the Oxford Handbook of Women's Health Nursing is a vital
tool in helping practitioners assist women in making informed
choices and keeping up-to-date with changes to the field. Written
with a focus on multi-disciplinary integrated care systems and a
greater emphasis on prevention and patient autonomy, this new
edition incorporates the most recent evidence-based guidelines and
developments in nursing roles and contraceptive methods. Drawing on
the knowledge and experience of a team of clinical experts, this
handbook provides clear, practical information on all aspects of
women's health nursing from the community to the hospital setting.
The FRCS (Urol) - Urology and urological surgery - is the mandatory
final exit exam that all urology national training number (NTN)
trainees in the UK must successfully complete in order to achieve
Certification of Training (CCT) in urology. The FRCS (Urol) exam is
run by the four Royal Colleges of Surgery of the UK and Ireland,
with the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) acting as
advisory body. Internationally the FRCS (Urol) as a qualification
is widely recognised as a marker of quality and indeed applicants
from all around the world sit the exam. The FRCS (Urol) consists of
a first written component, followed at a later date by a separate
oral viva examination. There is an impending lack of published
textbooks that provide a comprehensive summary of the knowledge
required to pass the exam. This textbook, along with Book 1, fills
the current market gap of a dedicated revision note style book to
prepare candidates for the FRCS (Urol), as well as educate more
junior trainees starting their higher training in urology.
This book discusses all aspects of sexuality in women and in
particular explores sexual function and dysfunction in a variety of
settings, including the different stages of life and a wide range
of major diseases and local conditions. The aim is to refocus
attention on the needs and sexual realities of women, providing a
fresh point of view that will assist gynecologists, sexual medicine
physicians, and urologists in delivery of high-quality care and
help women themselves to understand and address sexual problems
relating to desire, arousal, orgasm, and sexual pain. Psychological
aspects of female sexuality and the impacts of the aging process,
pregnancy, and childbirth are carefully examined. Extensive
consideration is then given to the effects on sexual function of
such conditions as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes,
neurological disease, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary
incontinence, reproductive disorders, sexual abuse, and drug abuse.
Issues of sexual identity and female dysmorphophobias are also
considered. The authors are all experts in the field and have a
deep understanding of the complexities of female sexuality.
Current knowledge concerning both morphological and functional
cryptorchid-related alterations in the various testicular
compartments is summarized in this valuable new publication. Damage
to the germinal epithelium and resulting infertility in both humans
and experimental animals as well as the degree of damage to the
different stages of germ cell development is discussed. In
addition, information concerning hormonal therapy and orchidopexy
to reverse cryptorchid-related damage is provided. Morphological
alterations in Sertoli and Leydig cells is discussed in terms of
cellular hypertrophy and hyperplasia, alterations in organelle
number and characteristics as well as changes in cell-cell
junctional complexes. Changes in Sertoli cell and Leydig cell
function, including gonadotropin binding, steroidogenesis and other
metabolic alterations is also outlined,as well as the influence of
altered testicular function on subsequent hypothalamic-pituitary
changes. Vascular disruption, the potential role of paracrine
substances and direct thermal damage, all of which may be
responsible for the resulting detrimental changes in one or more
testicular compartments, are considered.
