Transurethral Resection

Transurethral resection has become one the gold standards for treating
prostatic hypertrophy, though this was not always so. The fifth edition of
Transurethral Resection covers the entire subject of transurethral resection in
simple, clearly-stated terms. Blandy and Notley, who have enlisted the help of
John Reynard with this new edition, are recognized and respected authorities in
the field, and have provided detailed and clearly described coverage of all the
key processes involved in TUR, as well as the instruments and methods used, and
the basic skills that must be mastered. In this new edition, there are new
chapters on the use of lasers and also on the medical-legal aspects associated
with TUR.

Throughout Transurethral Resection 5th Edition, Blandy, Notley and Reynard give
practical hints that support or refute other popularly-held views with
rationales based on their own experiences. Each stage of each process is
described with clear, non-jargon text, and illustrated with photographs and
diagrams drawn by the senior author himself.
