A practically orientated approach to common urological symptoms for the undergraduate medical student, this gives schemes of investigations and management based on presenting symptoms. It teaches the student concepts - does not overburden the student with facts. It aims to provide a very accessible presentation - the text is illustrated with clear line drawings and it has new material including chapters updated on: urinary tract infection in children - urinary tract calculi (reflecting the trend towards non-invasive forms of treatment) - urological tumours (covering new imaging techniques, adjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy, reconstructive surgery) - prostatectomy (covering new techniques of transurethral prostatectomy) - male infertility.
