About this book

Geriatric Urology outlines important topics in the care of elderly urology patients. The first section covers the biology of aging, the genitourinary system and disease screening including urologic conditions serving as warning signs of other disorders. Section two covers geriatric syndromes and urology including frailty, polypharmacy, dementia, wound healing, osteoporosis and endocrinology. Urologic conditions in older adults are explored in detail including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary tract infection, nocturia, and benign prostate diseases. Other topics covered include obtaining informed consent, development of advance directives, palliative medicine and care of the dying patient. Geriatric Urology is of great value to urologists, geriatricians, internists, residents and family practitioners.

“Experts in various fields related to geriatric urology provide comprehensive updates on a wide variety of topics. … Written for practitioners, the book seems targeted specifically for urologists and urology trainees. … this is a worthwhile read for anyone with an interest in geriatric urology, and is written at a level that is appropriate for students as well as seasoned practitioners. … This is an excellent and much-needed contribution to the literature.” (Bradley D. Figler, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2014)
