ABRAMS' URODYNAMICS

DESCRIPTION

A practicalguide to all aspects of urodynamic investigation andits role in modern health care
Urodynamic testing is an ever-advancing field withapplications in the management of patients from across a wide range of clinicalareas. Bringing together fundamental principles and cutting-edge innovations, Abrams Urodynamics has beendesigned as an all-in-one guide to Functional Urology and Urogynecology,offering direct, up-to-date instruction on how to best perform and understand urodynamic tests within the overall treatment pathway. Itschapters cover everything from everyday basic practice to advanced complexcases, and are enhanced with more than 450 helpful illustrations. Includingnumerous revisions and new features, this fourth edition of the book boasts:

Coverage ofall investigative approaches, including uroflowmetry,cystometry, video-urodynamics,and non-invasive techniques

Details onthe successful running of a urodynamicunit, with information on organizational issues, equipment set-up, and commonproblems and pitfalls

Sectionsaddressing children, women, men, the elderly, and neuropaths

Extensivedescription of International Continence Society (ICS) Standards throughout

Appendicesthat include ICS Standards and Fundamentals documents, ICIQ modules and PatientInformation Leaflets

With itswealth of clinical tips, illustrations, new innovations, and hands-on advice, Abrams Urodynamics is essentialreading for all those wishing to better integrate urodynamictesting into their daily practice.
