TEXTBOOK OF UROGENITAL PROSTHETIC SURGERY (INCLUDED DIGITAL VERSION)

DESCRIPTION

Thistextbook gives comprehensive coverage to the surgical management of erectiledysfunction with penile prostheses (PP) and the management of stress urinaryincontinence using bladder outflow resistance created by the artificial urinarysphincter (AUS). Its intended audience are urologists who are interested in oneor both topics.

The text isdivided into 3 sections.

The firstone deals with the history of the development of PP and the AUS, the surgicalanatomy related to male erectile function and male and female urinaryincontinence, operating room logistics for PP surgery, and the steps in settingup a dedicated urologic prosthetic practice.

The secondpart is devoted to restoring erectile function using PP. It includes chaptersdealing with the appropriate evaluation of the surgical candidate, techniquesof implant placement by various incisions, management of the patientpostoperatively including addressing complications, and the use of PP inspecial circumstances including priapism, PeyroniesDisease, fibrotic corporal bodies and the neophallus. The section concludeswith a chapter on building a prosthetic urology practice, periprocedural counseling, and optimizing patient and partnersatisfaction.

The thirdsegment compromises with the AUS including evaluating patient candidates, basicscrotal and perineal placement techniques, intraoperative and postoperativemanagement of the patient and any complications which may develop.

A finalchapter deals with the use of the AUS in women.
