On-Call in Urology

On Call in Urology is aimed at junior trainees working in urology. The book is written as a ‘survival guide’ detailing common presentations from primary care and the emergency department. It covers initial and further management of these cases and simple surgical procedures. The practical advice, photographs, and illustrations, as well as detailed procedural tips make this an ideal accompaniment to any junior doctor managing urology patients in emergency, ward and clinic settings.
