Description and Table of Contents

Description

Transurethral resection (TUR) is today the 'gold standard' against which new methods must be compared in the treatment of BPH and other bladder malignancies. Covering the entire subject of transurethral resection, this fourth edition now includes chapters on the use of lasers as well as the medical-legal aspects associated with TUR. Blandy and Notley, with the help of John Reynard for this new edition, are recognized and respected authorities in the field, and have provided detailed descriptions of all the key processes involved in TUR, as well as the instruments and methods used and the basic skills that must be mastered. Filled with practical hints that support or refute popularly held views, Blandy, Notley and Reynard present rationales based on their own experiences, and describe every stage of each process in jargon-free text, illustrated with photographs and diagrams drawn by the senior author himself. A well-established work that presents valuable information in simple, straightforward terms, this is an essential text for all urologists, whether in training or in practice.
