Glenn's Urologic Surgery is a comprehensive but concise textbook focused on surgical procedures. After more than 30 years it is still required reading for most urology residents and is consulted by practicing physicians while planning surgeries. Chapters are heavily illustrated and progress from diagnosis to indications for surgery, to brief sections on alternative therapies, and then to detailed sections on surgical technique before closing with a discussion of outcomes as found in the literature. The Seventh Edition continues to emphasize laparoscopic procedures. Each section opens with a thoroughly illustrated description of relevant anatomy.
The first edition of Male Sexual Function: A Guide to Clinical Management was published in 2001. Since that time, two new oral medications for erectile dysfunction ® ® (ED), Vardenafil (Levitra ) and Tadalafil (Cialis ), have been introduced. Links between ED and lower urinary tract symptoms have been postulated, advances in the basic science of erectile physiology have occurred, and the appreciation of ED as a form of endothelial dysfunction and a harbinger of other more potentially lethal forms of vascular disease has become more widespread. In some instances, third-party payers have reduced or eliminated coverage for ED treatments in an attempt to cut costs. They have classified sexual activity as “recreational,” “lifestyle,” or not medically necessary, but have failed to appreciate the negative consequences of ED, such as depression with all of its ramifications. Male Sexual Function: A Guide to Clinical Management, Second Edition is a comp- hensive overview of the field of male sexual function and includes a chapter on female sexual dysfunction, an emerging field with a very high incidence in the population and an ever-growing following.
