This book provides a practical guide in the use of imaging and visualization technologies in urology. It details how output from diagnostic systems, can be represented through synthetic, virtual and augmented reality tools, such as holograms and three dimensional (3D) modelling and how they can improve everyday surgical procedures including laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, open, endoscopic along with the latest and most innovative approaches. Anatomy for Urologic Surgeons in the Digital Era: Scanning, Modelling and 3D Printing systematically reviews diagnostic imaging, visualization tools available in urology and is a valuable resource for all practicing and in-training urological surgeons.
In consultation with Consulting Editor, Dr. Samir Taneja, Guest Editors Dr. Brian Matlaga and Dr. Ojas Shah have put together a timely look at Emerging Technologies in Renal Stone Management. The issue focuses on techniques and newer generation of lasers, fiberoptics, and imaging techniques. Clinical review articles are specifically devoted to the following: Next Generation Reusable Ureteroscopes: Fiberoptic and Digital; Single-Use Ureteroscopes; Disposable Stone Retrieval Devices; New Generation Laser Fibers; Emerging Laser Techniques for Stone Management; Ultrasonic and Pneumatic Lithotripters; Emerging technologies in lithotripsy; New technologies to aid in percutaneous access; Innovations in Ureteral Stent Technology; New imaging techniques in the Management of Stone Disease; Radiation Mitigation Techniques; Ultrasound Technology in the Management of Stone Disease; Emerging Mobile Platforms to Aid in Stone Management; and Assessing Cost-Effectiveness of New Technologies in Stone Management. Readers will come away with the latest information they need to optimize treatment and management outcomes in the patient with stone disease.
This book describes basic information and current applications of flexible ureteroscopy in diagnosis and treatment of renal stones, covering topics on history, anatomy, preoperative preparation, clinical operation, and training for beginners. Basic as well as advanced techniques of flexible ureteroscopy for large renal stones, pediatric patients, and in special situations are presented in details with representative cases and high-resolution illustrations. In addition, disposable, wireless, and robotic flexible ureteroscopy are introduced in details to help readers to learn advanced techniques. It will be a useful reference for urologists, especially for those who are interested in improving their flexible ureteroscopy skills in clinical practice.
Acute urinary stones cause one of the most painful sensations the human body can experience, more painful than childbirth, broken bones, gunshot wounds or burns.

Internationally known experts offer multidisciplinary guidance on the diagnosis and management of the full spectrum of pelvic floor disorders. It covers the diagnosis and clinical assessment of continence mechanisms and sexual dysfunction, as well as conservative management of the lower urinary tract, disorders of anorectal functions and sexual functions, exploring techniques such as electrical stimulation, anti-incontinence devices, and biofeedback. This valuable text also provides information on the management and treatment of a full range of disorders, from childbirth damage and post-prostatectomy incontinence, to neuropathic voiding dysfunction. Reviews normal anatomy and physiology as w...
This volume contains peer-reviewed papers that were presented at the 1st Annual International Urolithiasis Research Symposium, held in Indianapolis, Indiana, in November 2006. This conference featured a very distinguished international faculty whose present research is clearly advancing the field of stone disease. This conference marked the first presentation of data on the interface between a renal stone and its tissue attachment site.
Almost 500 paper and poster contributions from more than 30 countries had to be evaluated for CARS 2004. In addition to the traditional CARS themes and topics, emphasis has been given to developments such as IHE, Surgical Workflow and PACS, Operation Room of the Future, and Strategic Thinking. In special congress sessions, partner societies such as SPIE and SCAR have joined these endeavours to assist in achieving progress in these fields. While the increased reliance on multi-source information is proceeding at a rapid rate, it is interesting to note that the basis for the greater part of medical decision making is still medical imaging. This may change as genomics and proteomics fulfil more...
Les acteurs, les hommes politiques, même s’ils disparaissent de la vie publique, sont rattrapés un jour par l’âge et la maladie. Portraits figés de rois ou d’hommes politiques de tous pays, films régulièrement diffusés, ils semblent intemporels et immortels. Pourtant, nombreux sont ceux qui souffrent de pathologies importantes comme le diabète notamment et ses complications dont le traitement a été longtemps ignoré. Après une brève rétrospective sur cette maladie et ses symptômes, Françoise Guillon-Metz nous fait découvrir quelques illustres personnes qui en ont été atteintes. De Louis XIV à Charles de Gaulle, de Balzac à Jules Verne, de Marlon Brando à Tom Hanks, elle s’attarde sur leur histoire et les thérapies mises en place pour les soulager. Un livre plein de surprises ! Xavier Riaud
