This new atlas presents a comprehensively illustrated overview of the techniques now routinely employed in the investigation and diagnosis of disorders of the male urogenital system. It is organised by disease rather than procedure, so enabling the reader to review the techniques available and make an informed choice of the tests to be carried out in each case. Topics covered include renal function, UTIs, BP and LUTS, Stone Disease, Erectile Dysfunction and cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney and testis. For each, the authors comment on the utility and correct use of appropriate investigations, including laboratory analyses, blood tests, histopathology, urodynamics and flowmetry, and diagnostic imaging.

Per i pazienti in dialisi può essere complesso trovare tempo ed energie per l'attività fisica. Chi soffre di ipertrofia prostatica benigna è spesso restio a iniziare un programma di allenamento, poiché teme che concorra a peggiorare la patologia. Per chi è affetto da incontinenza gli ostacoli, soprattutto psicologici, ad avvicinarsi a uno sport possono apparire invalicabili. Patologie urologiche e attività fisica è un valido sostegno per superare i timori e intraprendere, con il supporto del proprio medico, l'esercizio più adatto alle proprie condizioni di salute. Dai calcoli renali all'ipertrofia prostatica benigna, il libro illustra nel dettaglio quali sono gli sport da evitare e quali quelli consigliati per i pazienti affetti dai più diffusi disturbi urologici. Fornisce inoltre preziose informazioni sui rischi di ematuria, proteinuria e disidratazione in cui possono incorrere gli sportivi.

Stenting the Urinary System provides information on the use of stents within the urological system. Each of the 72 chapters is authored by an international expert in the area, covering the newest advances in stent technology along with when and how to stent for different conditions. Different stents and their advantages and disadvantages are covered including Double-J stents, biodegradable stents, double pigtail stents, x-ray opaque urethral stents, self-expanding metal stents, and many others. The clinical and cost comparison of long prostatic stenting is explored along with the quality of life of patients with internal stents.

A concise, up-to-date review of the many new therapies available for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The authors concisely evaluate the latest minimally invasive therapies, as well as time-tested surgical treatments, and review the medical therapies for BPH, namely a-adrenergic antagonists, 5-a reductase inhibitors, and their therapeutic combinations. Additional chapters examine the pathophysiology and natural history of BPH, its epidemiology, and the urodynamic evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms. This book is a perfect reference source for the practicing urologist seeking sound guidance on the best approach to his patients.

"Critical Decisions in Urology, Third Edition" uses text and algorithms to emphasize both the evaluation and management of patients with varied urologic disorders. The expertise of the outstanding contributors has resulted in a comprehensive, state of the art book that will benefit both clinicians and investigators. This book will be of great value to practitioners requiring a quick reference in addition to residents studying for board examinations. The text succinctly covers both adult and pediatric topics. Specific sections of the text discuss infection and inflammation, genitourinary trauma and tumors, urinary stone disease and adrenal disorders. Also, thoroughly examined in this lavishly illustrated text are the kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra, penis, testis, and epididymis. Additional topics also discussed are venereal disease, sexual problems, and sterility and infertility.

Men die younger and when sick they seek help later. While it is now accepted that many of the causes of premature death in men are potentially remediable by appropriate education, counseling, diagnosis, and therapy, few, if any, inroads have been made in terms of actually closing the mortality gap between the sexes. Why, given the facts, is men's health still so neglected?Taking a comprehensive approach, Men's Health, Second Edition fills a gap in the available literature on specifically male health issues. Completely revised and updated, the second edition covers disease management, maintenance, and prevention. The editors address the full range of men's healthcare problems, ranging from sexual to surgical, medical to psychiatric, and including illness prevention and health maintenance. Like its predecessor, this new edition is intended not only for primary care practitioners, who wrestle everyday with the consequences of ill health among men, but also for specialists such as cardiologists, urologists, and others, who deal with the diseases that afflict men so commonly. A well-illustrated clinical guide, the textbook is an exhaustive reference on male health from childhood to old age.

The alternation between urine retention and discharge several times daily from a nappy to the cessation ofall vital functions only becomes the subject baby's first wet of greater attention if the harmony of the structure and function of the bladder is disturbed. Functional disturbances of the lower urinary tract are not only of great socio-economic importance, but are also a considerable personal burden for the patient. Hence urinary incontinence is rightly classified as a severelydisabling illness (Hauri 1985). Opinions still differ regarding the morphological basis ofurinary continence.The Terminologia Anatomica (1998) defines a musculus sphincter urethrae internus (in- ternal urethral sphincter) and a musculus sphincter urethrae externus (external ure- thral sphincter),which in the older nomenclature were known as musculus sphincter vesicae and musculussphincterurethrae,respectively.The internal urethral sphincter isascribed apurelyinvoluntaryandthe externalurethralsphincterapurelyvoluntary innervation. The significance of the musculature of the pelvic floor for maintaining urinarycontinence has notyetbeen ascertained. Duringnumerous urologicaloperations (forinstancetransurethralresectionofthe prostate and bladder neck incisions), the only involuntarily innervated sphincter at the collum vesicae,the internalurethralsphincter,is partiallyorcompletelydestroyed (Fig. 27C,D).All the patients remain continent as long as the externalurethral sphinc- ter remains intact.Howcan apurelyvoluntarilyinnervated sphincterlikethe external urethral sphincter ensureconstant continence in such cases? Improving the continence rate after radical surgery is a key topic of urological research. The incontinence rate after radical prostatectomy is still between 8.1% (third-degree incontinence) and41.4% (first- to second-degree incontinence; Rudyet al. 1984; Igel et a1.1987; Schroderand Ouden 1992).
