This is a concise, up-to-date reference on anesthesia for
urological surgery. Urological anesthesia is not recognized as a
specialty, and a majority of anesthesiologists and nurse
anesthetists will provide anesthesia for these patients. Advances
in urological procedures, the advent of treatment of patients with
strong anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, and the
demographics of urology patients (many of whom are young or
elderly) present challenges for the anesthesiologist and have
necessitated changes in anesthesia practice. The last volume on
this topic was published in 2000, and the time is right for a fresh
presentation of contemporary expertise in anesthesia for urological
surgery.
The book provides a brief review of renal physiology and
pharmacology then addresses anesthesia for each major group of
urological procedures (e.g., endoscopic, office-based, laparoscopic
and robotic, nephrolithotripsy, renal transplantation, etc.) and in
special populations, including the geriatric patient, the pediatric
patient, and the pregnant patient. Separate chapters discuss the
unique challenges of positioning the patient, and of managing the
patient taking anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication, and the
chapter on pain management addresses common and important
perioperative concerns. The book provides a brief review of renal
