Heesakkers John, Chapple Christopher, De Ridder Dirk, Farag Fawzy (eds.) Practical Functional Urology

Springer, 2016. — 400 p. — ISBN: 978-3-319-25428-9.We are very happy to present to the reader the fi rst edition of the book Practical Functional Urology. We as editors had the feeling that a book was needed that compiled many practical issues that we, as functional urologists, deal with every day in clinical practice. Clinical functional urological practice has a very broad scope of topics ranging from neurourological pathologies to male LUTS or nocturia. Much has been written and published about all functional urological topics, quite often from a scientifi c point of view. Many of the participating authors of this book contributed to science in Functional Urology. The aim of this book is to give practical insight and advice about functional urological topics. The underlying guidelines from among others EAU, AUA, ICUD and NICE serve as the framework and basement for clinical practice. Based on the guidelines the various topics are assessed from a practical point of view. In every chapter is explained how diagnostics and treatments are dealt with clinical practice. The chapters end with tips and trics, dos and donts and points of interest. The hope is that this will help the reader in his daily clinical activities. We also tried to avoid big references parts but changed that by a only a few references for further reading that are thought to be key publications by the writers of the chapter. We want to thank all the authors for their effort and contribution and Springer for supporting this important project.
