Pediatric urology - Surgical complications and management

Today I wanted to refresh my memory on pediatric genitourinary surgeries. Specially hernia management and congenital deformities of the genitourinary system. When I was browsing through the book shelf in library for pediatric surgery books I found out this book - Pediatric Urology - Surgical complications and Management.

Urological deformities are very common surgical illness in children and In exams also we commonly get few questions from pediatric urological problems.

This 368 pages and hard cover book is priced at $126.36 at Amazon book store. Following is the description given at Amazon.

This practical evidence-based textbook clearly addresses operative procedures and the prevention and management of common and rare complications encountered in pediatric urological practices.

In the current climate of informed consent and medicolegal aspects of any surgical intervention, it is essential to give patients and their carers all the information available. With world renowned editors and contributors offering their personal experiences, Pediatric Urology thoroughly explores this issue and also addresses essential topics including:

• principles of surgical audit

"If this book had been available when my colleagues and I were grappling with the intricacies of Neuroscience, I have no doubt it would have eased our way into the subject more smoothly. This is ideally suited to the pre-clinical student needing to get to grips with complicated subjects - fast.To quote from the English Philosopher, Francis Bacon: 'Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.' A place in the latter category is certainly commanded by 'Neuroscience at a Glance' ! Guy's Gazette/2000

You've read your textbook and your course notes. Now you need to apply your knowledge to real life clinical situations.

Minor emergencies

Today I am introducing this emergency manual which will help you to manage emergencies on the spot. It is a 856 pages paper back book which you can buy at Amazon book store for $ 54.49.

Following is a review I just read about this book.

This book is a fantastic resource for all Emergency & Primary Care physicians. It goes through the management of the "simple" stuff like nasal foreign body, dystonic reactions, fingertip avulsions, nursemaids elbow, tick removal, clavicular fracture etc etc etc. Most of the topics are 2-3 pages of big type and usually with pictures & the important stuff is boldfaced. More importantly there is a "what not to do" section with every chapter.
On the downside some of the antibiotic recommendations seem somewhat out of date but that's what Sanford is for, so all in all I think that is a minor point.
