Urolithiasis, or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of
men at some point, and these statistics are rising. Furthermore,
for those who form a stone, the likelihood of a recurrence is
nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore, the need
for effective, minimally invasive alternatives for stone
eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease
comprises a large part of any urologist s practice, a thorough
knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease
is critical in order to understand and implement treatment
strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise, a working
knowledge of the surgical treatments, instrumentation and outcomes
is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an
informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality
for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical
Management, the authors provide a complete guide to the management
of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This
book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone
disease in any capacity, whether surgically or medically, acutely
or long-term.
