Radiology and Follow-up of Urologic Surgery

Radiology and Follow-Up of Urologic Surgery, edited by Christopher R. J. Woodhouse and Alex Kirkham, is an essential book for surgical and radiology residents, as well as experienced urologists, obstetric/gynecologic surgeons, and radiologists interested in urologic surgery. This must-have book is the first guide that identifies and assesses changes following urologic surgery and provides follow-up protocols.

The book is extremely well-illustrated with color photographs and line drawings, with a focus on the “new normal” following surgery. The book has sections devoted to each organ of the genito-urinary tract, with chapters covering the major diseases and operations used to treat them. The authors invited colleagues to share insights gleaned during their careers, which are contained in the book. This provides clinicians with evidence-based information on the subject and rectifies the lack of literature on post-surgical anatomy and physiology.

The book is designed to help clinicians answer fundamental questions concerning post-surgical anatomy and physiology, such as, what is the normal appearance of a kidney after radiofrequency ablation of a tumor, and what does a local recurrence look like? How does urine flow down the ureters after a trans-uretero-ureterostomy? What is the normal appearance of the urinary tract after a cystoplasty? The book offers guidelines for clinical and radiological follow-up after urological surgery in some key areas.

The authors’ emphasis on the identification of normal changes versus complications is particularly helpful. Clinicians can determine the normal changes expected following a urologic surgery, which will help them detect complications if they arise. The book also covers radiologic changes and biochemical and histological findings found following reconstructions. Radiology and Follow-Up of Urologic Surgery is a well-written and organized book that provides valuable information for clinicians.

As for the e-book’s details, it has 240 digital pages. The book was published by Wiley-Blackwell on November 20, 2017. It is available in English with the ISBN 1119162084 (ISBN-13: 978-1119162087).

In conclusion, Radiology and Follow-Up of Urologic Surgery is a comprehensive guide that provides clinicians with invaluable information on identifying and assessing changes following urologic surgery. The book’s clear presentation of evidence-based information makes it easy to understand, and its emphasis on the identification of normal changes versus complications provides clinicians with the tools they need to detect any complications that may arise. I highly recommend this book to any surgical or radiology resident, as well as to experienced urologists, obstetric/gynecologic surgeons, and radiologists interested in the field. For those who are interested, the e-book is available for purchase. Don’t miss the opportunity to add this valuable resource to your collection.
