A comprehensive source of the recent technical advances and resultant clinical applications made in the area of urology, including ultrasonography, ESWL, and video urology and photography. Chapters are arranged by specific technology, emphasizing clinically relevant information.
This text covers all the new modalities and techniques that affect the practice of clinical urology. Each chapter helps readers grasp a clear understanding of how new equipment works so they can obtain optimal results from its use. Chapters are arranged by specific technology; the beginning highlights the pertinent technologic aspects and the end features clinical applications. Coantributors provide objective assessments of the applications, potentials and limitations of the technologies they discuss. The ultrasonography chapter describes the differences in images obtained with various transducers and frequencies with clinical examples of how to apply this information. Discussions on the physical principles behind shockwave lithotripsy, how the principles affect the merits of various lithotripters, and the impact of technology on the development of new lithotripters bring readers up to date. A chapter on lasers presents information on how wavelengths affect tissue injury and the clinical implications of this in selecting a particular laser for therapy.
The uteroscopy chapter discusses the development of ureterscopes and limitations of light delivery through long, rigid, or flexible instruments. This inforamtion translates directly into an understanding of both the limitations, advantages,a nd likely future development of ureterscopes.
