Description

Prostate disease accounts for over 70 per cent of the average urologist's referrals. Surgery is a common treatment option, particularly for prostate cancer, and great skill and expertise is required to ensure complete removal of tumorous tissue without damage to the healthy surrounding organs and to avoid or manage complications successfully. Surgery of the Prostate covers the very latest techniques, such as vaporization of the prostate. It will give readers all the know-how they need to tackle prostate disease surgically, both malignant and non-malignant.
