About the Book
Urethral injury may be of secondary importance when the patient comes into the emergency room, but devastating urological complications, such as sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and stricture, may drastically impair quality of life in the long term. This book provides a comprehensive review of adult urethral reconstructive surgery. It evaluates complex urethral problems and includes practical aspects of wound healing and applicable plastic surgical techniques.

Review :
From the reviews: "This book will definitely be of interest to those urologists who have a specific interest in urethral reconstructive surgery. It covers all aspects of urethral stricture disease and has insightful chapters about the economic impact of stricture disease and the logistics and outcome from urethral dilatation and endoscopic urethrotomy, as alternatives to reconstructive surgery. ... There are useful tips and tricks describing what the authors do in particular operative situations including positioning, instrumentation used and postoperative care."
