Urologic diseases can affect men, women and children at any age as they all related to urinary tracts, as well as reproductive organs in male. It is well known that erectile dysfunction, incontinence, urinary tract infection, prostatitis, enlarged prostate, infertility, Peyronie’s disease, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, kidney stones and vasectomy are the most common urology problems affecting men. As different urologic diseases encompass different conditions, the management of them varies depending on the nature of specific issue. This book Key Leaders’ Opinion on Andrology and Urology, therefore, aim to capture the full range of distinguished expert thinking on common andrologic and urologic diseases.
The book opens with introductory chapters covering the mechanism and treatment progress that consolidate our understanding of pathogenesis and current study situation of those common urologic diseases. On the second half of the book, it aims to view the future challenges in this field and provide some special cases for analysis. The last two chapters are devoted principally to the cost effective management of nephrolithiasis and urinary stone disease.
We sincerely hope that this very comprehensive compilation will provide the urologists with fresh new insights into the management of urologic diseases.
