How can we reduce morbidity after RARC with intracorporeal neobladder?

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is a complex procedure with high postoperative morbidity, especially when combined with neobladder reconstruction, which has a higher complication rate compared to other urinary diversions. To minimise these complications, it is crucial to understand their nature...

Oncological benefits of extended pelvic lymph node dissection

Touijer and colleagues present extended follow-up results from a large randomised trial comparing limited pelvic lymph node dissection (l-PLND) and extended PLND (e-PLND) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. The study aimed to assess whether e-PLND, which includes external...

Flexible cystoscopy

In this series of articles I am going to show you some of the exhibits contained in the Museum of Urology, hosted on the BAUS website (www.baus.org.uk). In the last article I told you about Jonathan Goddard, a C17th doctor...

Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder (Third Edition)

The third incarnation of this popular tome remains as imposing as ever. However, it has less the feel of an encyclopaedia about it than one might initially have feared. Whilst there is clearly some very great detail here – with...

Prostate Cancer – Diagnosis and Clinical Management

This rather modest looking paperback actually punches well beyond its humble appearance. There are of course the predictable sub-sections appropriate to any prostate cancer text – but that said this relatively small-volume affair (compared to some of the Goliaths out...

Prostate Cancer Diagnosis – PSA, Biopsy and Beyond

The danger of many of the texts which deal with this rapidly changing field is that by the time the texts are published they are out of date. This book however remains fresh, in part because it acknowledges that there...

Penn Clinical Manual of Urology

This is a powerhouse of a textbook. Small enough to fit into a modest briefcase (but not quite small enough to fit into the pocket of a white coat – for those who remember them) it punches well above its...

Treating Urothelial Bladder Cancer

This is a short book comprising 129 pages of text which I read in one afternoon. It provides a useful update on one of the most common malignancies encountered by urologists worldwide, which experienced urologists and trainees alike would benefit...

Surgical Techniques for Kidney Cancer

The principle advantage to this book over other more augmented texts is its conciseness. As a result, the editors are compelled to deliver a more focused approach to the management of kidney cancer. Although the title purports to consider ‘surgical’...

Childbirth Trauma

The appeal of this text will I suspect be limited to only a few from the urological fraternity – inevitably those with interests in uro-gynaecology and reconstructive surgery. The text deals with the basics of anorectal physiology as well as...

Fast Facts: Prostate Cancer

I have read this book since my SHO days, when the first edition was published in 1996, and still enjoy reading every new edition. This is a concise, pocket-sized book which is designed to provide a rapid update on what...

An Insider’s Perspective of Prostate Cancer – Understanding Effects, Management Options and Consequences

This deceptively small paperback punches way above its weight compared to some of the existing hefty tomes on prostate cancer. It is an admirable effort at delivering content pitched at both the lay reader as well as the medical graduate....
