It provides bite-sized topics covering every part of the urology curriculum and is valuable as a quick reference during clinical duties in clinics, theatre, A&E, on call, and as a reference text for revision.New to this Edition: Updated according to new National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), European Association of Urology (EAU) and American Association of Urology (AUA) guidelines Complete review and revision of cancer topics which have radically changed with new recommendations Covers urological controversies published in the press, in order to guide doctors' consultations with patients that include the use of mesh for urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and the risks of anticholinergic medications long-term for patients with an overactive bladder

Il volume tratta diversi argomenti della Urologia funzionale, nei loro aspetti meno affrontati e proponendo sempre nuovi punti di vista, spaziando dalla vescica iperattiva refrattaria alla ritenzione urinaria acuta e cronica, dall’ipoattività alla iperattività uretrale, dal dolore pelvico alla vescica neurologica. Ogni tema viene presentato attraverso un caso clinico che l’Autore definisce come “paradigmatico”, la cui presentazione porta a sviluppare l’argomento attraverso il ragionamento clinico, che è lungi dall’essere scontato. In tal modo ci viene ricordato come l’affrontare il processo di diagnosi e trattamento attraverso la sintesi tra le evidenze, che riguardano la popolazione generale dei pazienti, e il ragionamento clinico, orientato sul singolo caso, sia la strada per la migliore cura. D’altra parte, ogni tema porta con sé anche un altro caso clinico, definito “emblematico”, che potremmo invece descrivere come un “caso con la sorpresa”, che punta a sottolineare come talora sia necessario ampliare il punto di vista alle ipotesi meno usuali. fornire un riferimento sistematico e aggiornato per integrare la prevenzione vaccinale nei contesti ospedalieri e assistenziali. In un quadro demografico ed epidemiologico in rapida trasformazione, con incremento delle fragilità cliniche e nuove sfide clinico-epidemiologiche, la vaccinazione assume un ruolo strategico per la tutela dei pazienti fragili, la riduzione delle infezioni correlate all’assistenza e il contenimento dell’antibioticoresistenza, diventando una parte imprescindibile del percorso di cura. Il testo propone un approccio multidisciplinare indirizzato a direzioni sanitarie, professionisti ed operatori di area sanitaria e sociosanitaria, coniugando aspetti normativi, gestionali, organizzativi e medico-legali. Gli indirizzi operativi, gli indicatori di monitoraggio e i modelli organizzativi proposti offrono strumenti concreti per rendere le strutture sanitarie e sociosanitarie non solo luoghi di cura ed assistenza, ma anche veri e propri presìdi di sanità pubblica. In questa prospettiva, il volume si configura come guida tecnico-organizzativa e insieme come manifesto culturale: riafferma che la qualità e la sicurezza dell’assistenza passano attraverso la prevenzione vaccinale, elemento imprescindibile per la sostenibilità e la resilienza del “sistema salute”.

Perché un libro sulla urologia funzionale? Un’occasione da non perdere per chi si avvicina all’affascinante mondo di questa disciplina e per chi, già esperto, vuole conoscere un nuovo modo di affrontare i problemi. Nel corso della lunga esperienza come neuro-urologo e urologo funzionale e come membro della comunità Scientifica in tale ambito, ho gradualmente maturato nel tempo la convinzione che potesse essere utile mettere a disposizione della comunità un testo di “Urologia Funzionale” che potesse andare oltre quanto contenuto in quelli attualmente disponibili nell’ambito della Urologia Generale. Si tratta di un testo in cui l’argomento delle disfunzioni in area pelvica (dalla vescica iperattiva all’incontinenza da sforzo, dalla ritenzione urinaria al dolore pelvico), viene affrontato sotto un nuovo e stimolante profilo, in grado di suggerire al medico una visione più ampia e un approccio più personalizzato al trattamento, individually tailored. Tale testo, dal titolo “Urologia Funzionale: la terza via”, è adatto sia a chi è già specialista in urologia, ginecologia, fisiatria, ma desidera avere un approccio innovativo alle problematiche dell’area pelvica, sia ai medici specialisti in formazione, ma può essere fruibile anche da chiunque dei medici e degli operatori sanitari voglia accrescere le competenze nell’ambito delle disfunzioni in area pelvica.
