Smith's General Urology, 17th edition, provides in a concise format the information necessary for the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases managed by urologic surgeons. Our goal has been to keep the book current, to the point, and readable.
Medical students will find this book useful because of its concise, easy-to-follow format and organization and its breadth of information. Interns and residents, as well as practicing physicians in urology or general medicine, will find it an efficient and current reference, particularly because of its emphasis on diagnosis and treatment.
The 17th edition is a thorough revision of the book. New chapters to this edition include: "Pharmacology of the Lower Urinary Tract," "Female Urology," and "The Aging Male."
The book has been reviewed and updated throughout, with emphasis on current references. The several illustrations have been further modernized and improved, including many fine anatomic drawings and the latest imaging techniques. Since the 11th edition, the following translations have been published: Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
