Note publique d'information : Because of changing patterns in health care delivery, the management of complex urological
problems is increasingly taking place in hospital emergency rooms and the offices
of primary care physicians, a trend that will be exacerbated by the anticipated shortage
of urologists and a rapidly growing population of elderly people. In Urological Emergencies:
A Practical Guide, practicing urologists summarize the optimal management of urgent
and emergent urological conditions so that physicians with limited urological training
can take advantage of the many recent improvements in the management of acute urological
problems. Up-to-date, evidence-based descriptions of today's optimal diagnostic and
therapeutic approaches cover a wide variety of conditions ranging from traumatic,
infectious, and obstructive to hemorrhagic, iatrogenic, vascular, and congenital urological
emergencies. The authors review the relevant pathophysiological background and epidemiology,
recommend necessary diagnostic testing, and provide detailed medical, surgical, and
endourological management approaches. These include advances in diagnostic testing
and radiographic imaging, nonoperative treatment of acute injuries, and endoscopic
and interventional techniques for obstruction, abscess, and bleeding. The chapters
are organized by pathophysiology rather than organ system, so that the reader can
quickly determine best-practice approaches based on the mechanism of the given disease.
Comprehensive and user friendly, Urological Emergencies: A Practical Guide offers
urology residents, practicing urologists, emergency medicine practitioners, trauma
surgeons, and primary care providers without immediate access to urological consultation
an invaluable resource ready for immediate bedside use.
