The clinical chapter is written around evidence-based medicine and in "how-to" format with algorithms, with reference to AUA & EAU guidelines, well illustrated.
Review
From the reviews: "This book not only brings readers up to date on cutting-edge technologies and scientific principles, it is also a well-balanced discussion of clinical outcomes. ... Healthcare providers involved in the delivery of care to urological patients with benign or malignant disease will thoroughly appreciate this book. ... The authors have compiled a comprehensive book that is a great reference on urological diagnostic and surgical tools, methods, and techniques, and the ongoing research of upcoming technologies."
