First edition of Nitze's important monograph on cystoscopy, which revolutionized the surgery of the bladder. The first edition is of renowned scarcity."The invention of the cystoscope by Nitze revolutionized endoscopy but his true genius lay in his lifelong pursuit of better methods to diagnose and treat patients with urological diseases and in teaching others the practical use and value of cystoscopy. He also designed the first operating cystoscope, took the first endoscopic photographs and published the first textbook in urology. The legacy of discovery of Max Nitze established the specialty of urology and a legitimate claim as the father of urology" (Harry W. Herr).Garrison & Morton: 4184.
