Clinical Manual of Urology by Philip M. Hanno, Alan J. Wein, S. Bruce Malkowicz

From the Publisher

A thorough clinical handbook in urology written by leading clinicians. In addition to presenting the major categories of urologic disease, the book also covers important topics such as radiology, radiation therapy, nephrology, pediatric urolog, transplantation surgery and vascular surgery.

This is the second edition of a collaborative work that describes the fundamental scientific principles and clinical aspects of urologic disease. The first edition appeared in 1987. The purpose is to provide a basic body of core urologic knowledge in a manner applicable to different philosophies of therapeutic management. The book successfully meets the authors' objectives, especially in regard to fourth-year medical students pursuing a residency in urology as well as to urology residents. According to the authors, this handbook is written with three groups in mind: program directors, first-year urology residents, and medical students on urology electives. In my estimation, this book would be most useful to fourth-year medical students interested in urology and first-year residents in urology. I doubt program directors would have extensive use for the publication. Furthermore, I think the book is too long for third-year medical students to read in a two-week urology clerkship. It has superior tables and figures, with excellent anatomic diagrams, algorithms, and uroradiology. The book has a thorough table of contents, an accessible and complete index, and current and pertinent references from prominent sources and leaders in academic urology. The overall appearance of the book is appropriate, with effective use of boldfaced type and a generally consistent outline form. This book is an excellent source of the academic principles and clinical phenomena underlying urologic disease. It would be most useful to fourth-year medical students on senior electives in urology and to first-year urology residents as a portable reference to use while in the hospital and as a springboard for morein-depth and detailed investigation.
