Geriatric urology represents one of the largest overall sectors of
care provided within the specialty of urology. As the incidence and
prevalence of many clinical urologic conditions increase
significantly in older adults, the practice of urology involves a
need for advanced knowledge of the basic principles of geriatrics.
Geriatric Urology outlines important topics in the care of elderly
urology patients. The first section covers the biology of aging,
changes in the genitourinary system, and common diseases including
urologic conditions that may serve as warning signs of other
disorders. Section two covers geriatric syndromes and implications
for urologic care including frailty, polypharmacy, dementia, and
wound healing. Urologic conditions in older adults are explored in
detail including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse,
urinary tract infection, nocturia, and benign prostate diseases.
Other topics covered include obtaining informed consent,
development of advance directives, palliative medicine and care of
the dying patient. Geriatric Urology is of great value to
urologists, geriatricians, internists, residents and family
practitioners.
