Handbook of Urology Timothy Lawson

Urology is a branch of medicine, concerned with surgical as well as medical diseases related to the male and female urinary-tract system, and the male reproductive organs. Genitourinary disorders also fall under the domain of urology. Some of the common genitourinary disorders include hypospadias, labial fusion, epispadias and varicocele. Two of the most common and effective methods to treat urological diseases include robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery. A robotic surgery is either performed through a direct telemanipulator or through computer control. In a laparoscopic surgery, small surgical incisions are made in the abdomen or pelvis. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of urology. The various advancements in urology are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. Students, urologists, experts and all associated with urology will benefit alike from this book.
