This textbook provides a guide to reconstructive surgery of genitourethral problems in male patients. The first section covers all aspects of urethral reconstruction, including the functional anatomy of the urethra, etiology, epidemiology, and demographic differences in urethral pathology. The second section focuses on surgical reconstruction of penile and scrotal anomalies and dysfunctions. Textbook of Male Genitourethral Reconstruction aims to aid the management of male genitourethral reconstruction patients by reviewing the recent advancements in technology and surgical technique. This book is relevant to urologists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, medical students, and health care professionals working within urology and plastic surgery.Chapter “Tissue Transfer Techniques in the Management of Urethral Stricture Disease: Flaps and Grafts” is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
Dr. Zhao has assembled the top experts in the field of urology to present state-of-the-art clinical reviews devoted to Male Urethral Reconstruction and the Management of Urethral Stricture Disease. The issue is divided into three sections, with focus on evlaluation and follow up, urethroplasty technique, and conditions affecting outcomes. Authors have specifically addressed the following topics: Definition of successful treatment and optimal follow up in urethral strictures; Cost analyses for evaluation and treatment of urethral strictures; Sexual dysfunction after urethroplasty; Endoscopic treatment of urethral stricture; Endoscopic treatment for urethral stenosis; Patient selection for ure...
This book journeys into one of the most fascinating intellectual adventures of recent decades - understanding and exploring the final fate of massive collapsing stars in the universe. The issue is of great interest in fundamental physics and cosmology today, from both the perspective of gravitation theory and of modern astrophysical observations. This is a revolution in the making and may be intimately connected to our search for a unified understanding of the basic forces of nature, namely gravity that governs the cosmological universe, and the microscopic forces that include quantum phenomena. According to the general theory of relativity, a massive star that collapses catastrophically und...
Urethroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair an injury or defect within the walls of the urethra. This atlas is a concise guide to urethroplasty. Beginning with an introduction to basic anatomy and the etiology and pathophysiology of urethral disease, the following chapters describe urethroplasty procedures for different disorders. With contributions from many US-based experts, this step by step guide is well-illustrated with nearly 300 images, diagrams and tables. The accompanying DVD presents 11 videos of surgical procedures described in the book. Key points Step by step guide to urethroplasty Includes nearly 300 images, diagrams and tables Accompanying DVD presents videos of surgical procedures US-based contributors
My Reflexions is a story book containing 19 stories written by a retired engineering professional. According to the author, barring two stories, Angkor Wat – A Travelogue and Priyesh Menon – An Obituary, all stories are a work of fiction. Each story was a result of the author hearing an event reported in news in the print or TV or Internet or social media or even in his own life that suddenly triggered him to think differently. When the author looked at the event from various angles and reflected on it a new story was born. The seven stories from this book - The Clone, The Missing Week, The Carrier, The Underworld, The Space Twins, The Invasion and Journey of a Soul are classic science f...
Since the publication of the first edition of Urethral Reconstructive Surgery, important refinements have been added to the urologic surgical armamentarium. Extensively revised and updated, Advanced Male Urethral and Genital Reconstructive Surgery, Second Edition guides urologists in a practical manner on how to evaluate and manage complex urethral and male genital reconstructive challenges. Chapters have been added on wound healing, synchronous urethral strictures, non-transecting anastomotic urethroplasty (including muscle and vessel sparing), overlapping buccal grafts, male urethral slings, genital skin grafting, Peyronie’s surgery, priapism, pediatric strictures and prosthetics. Such chapters greatly strengthen the overall appeal of the book. The volume closes with a new comprehensive appendix of preferred instruments. With broad contributions by international authorities in reconstructive urologic surgery, Advanced Male Urethral and Genital Reconstructive Surgery, Second Edition is a valuable resource for all urologists, from residents to reconstructive surgeons.
The Guest Editors have secured the top urologists to provide current clinical reviews on the latest advances in the management of small renal masses. Articles are devoted to the following topics: hereditary yndromes; trends in renal surgery; humor anatomic complexity; risk assessment; renal biopsy; active surveillance; ablation; surgical techniques; renal ischemia; lymph node dissection; complications; neoadjuvant targeted therapy for renal surgery; salvage surgery; and post-operative surveillance. Readers will come away with a succinct overview of the most clinically relevant articles and be able to immediately implement the clinical information in their practice.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the latest techniques in female genitourinary and pelvic floor disorders. It features detailed insight into these conditions along with detailed descriptions of how treatment has changed in recent times for these disorders. The latest methodologies for pharmacological treatment, conservative therapy, surgical techniques, and how to avoid potential complications are discussed. Topics including relevant neurophysiology, measurement of urinary symptoms, pelvic organ prolapse and ureteral reconstruction are covered. Female Genitourinary and Pelvic Floor Reconstruction is a detailed resource detailing the latest developments in the field, making it an ideal resource for all clinicians who encounter these patients in their daily practice.
Physical phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology involve gravitational collapse in a fundamental way. The final fate of a massive star when it collapses under its own gravity at the end of its life cycle is one of the most important questions in gravitation theory and relativistic astrophysics, and is the foundation of black hole physics. General relativity predicts that continual gravitational collapse gives rise to a space-time singularity. Quantum gravity may take over in such regimes to resolve the classical space-time singularity. This book, first published in 2007, investigates these issues, and shows how the visible ultra-dense regions arise naturally and generically as an outcome of dynamical gravitational collapse. It will be of interest to graduate students and academic researchers in gravitation physics, fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. It includes a detailed review of research into gravitational collapse, and several examples of collapse models are investigated in detail.
