Urologia

La neuro-urologia è un campo della medicina in cui ancora più di altri il ragionamento clinico trova ampio spazio, in ragione della variabilità delle cause patologiche e delle loro espressioni fisiopatologiche che giungono a creare la alterazione della funzione del basso tratto urinario. Il libro è strutturato in capitoli, dedicato ciascuno ad una delle comuni o anche meno comuni patologie neurologiche con le sue conseguenze sul sistema urinario. Ogni capitolo è articolato in una breve presentazione della patologia, a favore di specialisti non neurologi, seguito dalla disamina delle disfunzioni vescico-sfinteriche riscontrabili nella stessa e infine da un breve “to Remember”. Ma il vero to remember è ciò che traspare da tutto il libro, che riporta al centro dell’attenzione lo studio del singolo paziente e quel rapporto tra l’uomo, il medico, chiamato a ragionare sull’uomo e per l’uomo, e il paziente, nella sua peculiarità e umanità.

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.
