Product Description
Product Description
Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder, Second Edition covers all aspects of the neurogenic bladder from aetiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis and treatment of all associated problems. This evidence-based text is an essential reference source for residents, physicians, and healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of neurogenic bladder patients.
With over 300 superbly illustrated images that clarify the differing states of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, this one-stop resource expands on the strong reputation of the first edition to highlight the new diagnostic techniques that have emerged to complement traditional management. These major advances range from non-surgical, electrical, and surgical treatments to neurostimulation and tissue engineering.
Topics include:
- the pathophysiology of neurogenic bladder dysfunction and the ways it alters vesico-urethral function
- an overview of quality of life instruments that help determine the main outcome of interventions
- imaging, electrophysiology, and extensive urodynamic studies in adults and children
- new non-surgical options and new ways to administer traditional treatments
- a full chapter on a new classification system by its developer, Professor Anders Mattiasson
From the Back Cover
Neurogenic bladder dysfunction is a disorder of the lower urinary tract with multiple etiologies, which may result from a disease (such as diabetes mellitus), an injury, or a birth defect affecting the brain, spinal cord, or nerves leading to the bladder. In recent years, new diagnositic techniques have emerged to complement traditional management, and major advances have been made in the therapeutic options available: from non-surgical, electrical and surgical treatments to neurostimulation and tissue engineering.
In this timely and comprehensive new edition of the BMA award winning Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder, Jacques Corcos and Erik Schick have again brought together an impressive team of world authorities in the field to provide an essential reference source for residents, physicians and healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of neurogenic bladder patients.
Covering all aspects of the neurogenic bladder from aetiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis and treatment of all associated problems, Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder will build on the already strong reputation of its predecessor and be an essential reference tool for all urologists encountering patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
