A full description of balloon dilation of the prostatic urethra as a means of relieving constriction of the bladder outlet, along with a review of the different experiences with it and the mechanism of its action. The procedure is relatively new and experimental, but shows signs of providing an inexpensive alternative to the standard treatment, transurethral resection, which, as the population continues to include a higher proportion of older men, has become the second most costly surgical operation under medicare. Other non-surgical approaches to the management or treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia are also surveyed. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

<p>Endourology is a dynamic subspecialty involving closed, controlled manipulation within the genitourinary tract. In the past decade the creative efforts of many urologists, radiologists, and engineers have vastly expanded endoscopic technique, to the great benefit of patients with stones, obstruction, cancer, diverticula, cysts, adrenal disease, varices, and diseases of the bladder. This definitive text addresses every aspect of endourologic procedure including methods of access, operative techniques, complications, and postoperative care. The reader is taken, step-by-step, through cutaneous surgery, ureteroscopy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, laparoscopy, and lower urinary tract procedures. The principles and function of state-of-the-art endourologic instruments are outlined for each procedure. The authorship reads like a Who s Who in endodurology . The breadth and depth of their experience is evident throughout the text.</p>
