Editorial Reviews

"The book is best suited for the practicing urologist, but can also be used by the medical student and other interested allied healthcare professionals. The authors are all credible and well-known. The book spans the entire gamut of urologic prostheses, including tissue engineering, injectables, various stents and finally penile prostheses. The best features are the short concise chapters written by respected authorities in the field. All the chapters are quite comprehensive. This is a high-quality, well written, timely book. This is unique in the field, for there are few, if any similar books. A book such as this is needed to keep the practitioner updated on these ever-changing matters." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"The layout of the book is clear and logical and the structure of each of the individual author's contributions is uniform and well illustrated...a useful reference text for trainees in urology and urologists who practice prosthetic surgery." -ANZ J. Surg.

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Allen D. Seftel, MD (Case Western Reserve University)
Description: This comprehensive review spans the entire gamut of prostheses, and includes penile prostheses, urinary prostheses, and injectable materials.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a broad view of the prosthetic devices used in urologic surgery. This type of book is clearly needed, and the editor's objectives are met.
Audience: The book is best suited for the practicing urologist, but can also be used by the medical student and other interested allied healthcare professionals. The authors are all credible and well-known.
Features: The book spans the entire gamut of urologic prostheses, including tissue engineering, injectables, various stents and finally penile prostheses. The best features are the short concise chapters written by respected authorities in the field. All the chapers are quite comprehensive. The limited scope of the book, however, does allow for significant overlap in the chapters. While at first, this might seem redundant and unnecessary, the overlap actually works well in this book for it gives the reader a broader perspective on the topic from two or three individuals.
Assessment: This is a high-quality, well written, timely book. This is unique in the field, for there are few, if any similar books. A book such as this is needed to keep the practitioner updated on these ever-changing matters.
