While comprehensive textbooks are essential to the practice of urology, equally important are readily accessible manuals that students, residents, trainees and even experienced urologists can carry with them in their pockets or on PDAs. Filling a gap in the market for a definitive pocket urology reference guide, this easy-to-use text covers the key topics in the field, with an emphasis on the straightforward presentation of practical knowledge and bedside skills. Written by residents and attending physicians at the world famous Brady Institute of Urology at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, this is a much-needed, highly useful handbook for those in the field.
