Urinary Diversion: Scientific Foundations and Clinical Practice

Under the new editorship of Karl Kreder and Anthony Stone, and with an international team of contributors, this completely revised text covers all aspects of urinary diversion. Setting out the scientific principles of diversionary surgery, it also provides step-by-step guidance on the various operative procedures.

Divided into seven major sections, Urinary Diversion, Second Edition covers the following key areas:

a historical review of urinary diversion techniques

physiological considerations
