"...a good book for those trainees who wish to specialise in endourology and it would be a useful addition to any urology department library." -The Surgeon

"This book … provides very much an American view of endourology. Each chapter … is very well referenced and covers world-wide opinion, which gives an international flavour to the text. … It is helpful and practical both for the everyday urologist and the endourological surgeon. It is also essential reading for residents who are working for their board or final fellowship exams. … The book is an excellent purchase for anyone about to sit the viva … ." (Chris Chilton, Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons, Vol. 89, 2007)

"This book represents an advanced course for all urologists since even generally simple procedures may become complex and unpredictable. For more complicated procedures usually only performed by urologists specialized in this field, an illustrated guide providing tips and tricks from recognized experts is also very worthwhile. … The authors, recognized all over the world for their expertise in endourology, must be congratulated with this helpful publication."
