Implanted and Injected Materials in Urology Edited by Jean Marié Buzelin The series of titles under the auspices of the Société Internationale d'Urologie (SIU) are recognised as a primary source of reference for urologists in both practice and training. Edited by recognised experts in their field, each volume benefits from speed of publication, exhaustive referencing and the highest standards of production. In this latest volume, Professor Buzelin along with a prestigious team of contributors, reviews and provides clinical guidance on the use of implanted and injected materials in urology. Although commonplace, these materials still present major challenges for urologists, mainly in the areas of biocompatibility and migration. Despite these difficulties, this form of minimally invasive therapy can offer an attractive alternative to open surgery for those who are unfit for major operations and in particular the aged patient. Topics dealt with include the critical issue of biocompatibility, surgical procedures using injected materials for urinary incontinence, alloplastic ureteric replacements, urethral stents in the management of BPH, the use of penile implants and finally artificial bladder replacement. This book will be essential reading for urologists at whatever stage of their career who require a definitive account of the use of implanted and injected materials in urology. Vissza
