Although most clinical urologists use various basic endourological techniques in their practices, the complex upper tract pathology and anatomy often requires more advanced endoscopic skills and instrumentation. In Advanced Endourology: The Complete Clinical Guide, leading national and international urologists in the field of endourology describe standard and advanced endoscopic procedures for treating upper tract pathology. The authors provide step-by-step instructions for the latest endoscopic procedures, ranging from upper urinary tract calculi and strictures to urothelial cancer. Authoritative and highly instructive, Advanced Endourology: The Complete Clinical Guide offers active urologists and urology residents not only a comprehensive, illustrated guide to endourological procedures-particularly the more advanced techniques-but also a practical means to expand the range and scope of the procedures they perform.
