Acute urinary stones cause one of the most painful sensations the human body can experience, more painful than childbirth, broken bones, gunshot wounds or burns. Master your patient management with this comprehensive guide to a debilitating medical condition.

- Imaging in stone disease: sonography, contrast based fluoroscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance urography
- Multimodality therapy: mixing and matching techniques to improve outcome
- Complications of stone disease
- Interpretation of 24 hour urine chemistry
- Prevention of recurrent calcium, uric acid, struvite and cystine stones
- The different surgical techniques, including: ureteroscopy, shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopic lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrostolithotomy
Packed with high-quality figures, key points, and management algorithms, easy to follow, clear clinical guidance is supported by the very latest in management guidelines from the AUA and EAU.
