About this book

Urethral reconstructive surgery can often be complex, time consuming and demanding. Enlightening urologists in a practical manner, Urethral Reconstructive Surgery evaluates and manages complex urethral problems. Written by a panel of experts in the field, Urethral Reconstructive Surgery offers the anatomy of the urethra and the aspects of wound healing and applicable plastic surgical techniques. A practical and comprehensive review, Dr. Brandes and his contributors focus on the methods for evaluating the extent and degree of urethral stricture and the decision making process.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book will definitely be of interest to those urologists who have a specific interest in urethral reconstructive surgery. It covers all aspects of urethral stricture disease and has insightful chapters about the economic impact of stricture disease and the logistics and outcome from urethral dilatation and endoscopic urethrotomy, as alternatives to reconstructive surgery. … There are useful tips and tricks describing what the authors do in particular operative situations including positioning, instrumentation used and postoperative care.” (Steve Payne, Urology News, Vol. 15 (1), November/December, 2010)
