Lasers in Urology: Principles and Practice (The Bloomsbury Series in Clinical Science)

This book covers the field of laser urology as currently practiced, particularly with regard to bladder cancer, ureteric and urethral tumours and the endoscopic laser destruction of stones. The book is written largely by European urologists with direct practical experience who have been instrumental in developing laser applications in urology. The book serves as an introduction to the tyro laser urologist. It gives background detail and reviews current studies for each application covering both benign conditions and malignant disease. It encompasses newer methods of endoscopic therapy for prostate cancer, the rapidly developing use of photodynamic therapy and the new field of percutaneously administered laser interstitial hyperthermia. There is a comprehensive how-to-do-it section for each technique with much practical advice on how to use lasers.McNicholas, T.
