This handbook provides an invaluable source of information and advice on how to perform common diagnostic tests and surgical procedures. The book uniquely combines both operative day case urology and diagnostic urology into a practical and comprehensive summary of the most common ‘day case’ urological procedures, in a form that is concise and relevant to urological residents, consultants or nurses. This is a handy reference guide for all urologists - whether in the UK, Europe or the US - who find themselves doing 'office' based urology work, i.e. diagnostic work and minor surgical procedures irrespective of what training program they followed.

Fully revised for the third edition, the Oxford Handbook of Urology provides an excellent, informative and comprehensive overview of the entire spectrum of urology.
