About the Oxford American Handbooks in Medicine
The Oxford American Handbooks are pocket clinical books, providing
practical guidance in quick reference, note form. Titles cover major medi-
cal specialties or cross-specialty topics and are aimed at students, resi-
dents, internists, family physicians, and practicing physicians within specifi c
disciplines.
Their reputation is built on including the best clinical information, com-
plemented by hints, tips, and advice from the authors. Each one is carefully
reviewed by senior subject experts, residents, and students to ensure that
content refl ects the reality of day-to-day medical practice.
Key series features
• Written in short chunks, each topic is covered in a two-page spread
to enable readers to fi nd information quickly. They are also perfect
for test preparation and gaining a quick overview of a subject without
scanning through unnecessary pages.
• Content is evidence based and complemented by the expertise and
judgment of experienced authors.
• The Handbooks provide a humanistic approach to medicine – it’s
more than just treatment by numbers.
• A “friend in your pocket,” the Handbooks offer honest, reliable
guidance about the diffi culties of practicing medicine and provide
coverage of both the practice and art of medicine.
• For quick reference, useful “everyday” information is included on the inside
covers.

circumstances. And, while this material is designed to offer accurate infor-

of the time it was written, research and knowledge about medical and
health issues is constantly evolving and dose schedules for medications are
being revised continually, with new side effects recognized and accounted
for regularly. Readers must therefore always check the product informa-

most recent codes of conduct and safety regulation. Oxford University

The goal of the Oxford American Handbook of Urology is to create a concise
source of clinical information for medical students and physicians in train-
ing. This Handbook primarily presents the nonsurgical aspects of urolo-
gy—the information needed for making a rapid diagnosis and determining
the proper initial treatment course amid the confi nes of a busy clinical
practice. It is meant to be a practical pocket reference, not an exhaustive
treatise on urology.
As we witness the rapid pace of advancement in urological surgery, it
becomes ever more diffi cult for any urologist to stay current in all areas of
our specialty. The Handbook aims to provide the reader with an effi cient
information source that will be helpful in guiding effective management of
our growing population of urological patients.
The book is written for our patients, with appreciation for the many
mentors from whom we have learned, and for the many students and
residents we have been fortunate to train. It is adapted for the American
practice of urology from the Oxford Handbook of Urology, published in the
UK, and we thank John Reynard, Simon Brewster, and Suzanne Biers for
their fi ne book and the opportunity to “Americanize” it.
We dedicate this book to our colleague and friend, John P. Stein,
M.D., whose untimely death has left a large void in our specialty. He was
an accomplished clinician, researcher, and teacher who will be sorely
missed.
