Optimizing Radiology and Follow-up of Urologic Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide

By Christopher R. J. Woodhouse and Alex Kirkham, this book serves as the first guide to identifying and assessing changes following urologic surgery, including follow-up protocols. It addresses questions such as the normal appearance of a kidney after radio frequency ablation of a tumor, and how to identify a local recurrence. It also covers the appearance of the urinary tract after a cystoplasty, providing essential insights for clinicians.

Unlike most literature in radiology and urologic surgery, which focuses on diagnosis and disease management, this book aims to provide evidence-based information on the anatomical and physiological changes that follow successful treatment, especially in cases involving conservative or reconstructive surgery. It includes sections devoted to each of the organs of the genito-urinary tract, with chapters covering the major diseases and operations used to treat them.

Key Features:

• Extremely well-illustrated throughout with color photographs and line drawings.
• Focuses on the new normal following surgery, with an emphasis on the identification of normal changes versus complications.
• Covers the radiologic changes and biochemical and histological findings which are found following reconstructions.
• Offers guidelines for clinical and radiological follow up after urological surgery in some key areas.

Target Audience:

This book is essential reading for surgical residents in urology, as well as radiology residents specializing in urology. It also belongs on the reference shelves of urologists, urological surgeons, obstetric/gynecologic surgeons, and radiologists with an interest in the field, at whatever stage in their career.
