Short description:

The Primer on Urology is an entirely new approach to reviewing the field of urology.

The principle is to cover the whole subject of urology in an up-to-date textbook, with not only chapters written by key opinion leaders within Europe but also a significant commentary on each section from a senior North American urologist. The book is based on the European Association of Urology Guidelines, which are updated regularly with a new release every year.

This will be a valuable book for anybody interested in urology but is designed in particular for the resident as well as the practising urologist who wants a crisp update of the latest developments in the field as well as the basic knowledge, all of which is succinctly presented with reference to the latest evidence-based approach to the subject.
