Reviews

From the reviews:

“This extensive book provides detailed yet concise chapters on all aspects of ureteroscopy. … this book should be in the collections of all urologists and urology residents. … It also would prove useful to operating room personnel who deal routinely with ureteroscopy. … This book meets all of its objectives as a definitive book on ureteroscopy. The chapters are comprehensive and well written, the color pictures are clear and instructive, and the accompanying DVD provides useful supplementary material.” (Sanjay Kasturi, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2013)
