Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder

All patients with vesico-urethral dysfunction, regardless of the nature of the neurological process causing it, are investigated with the same diagnostic tools. This well-illustrated text provides the physician, whether qualified or in training, with excellent instruction for conducting thorough, efficient and beneficial examinations of both adults and children using a variety of instruments and tests. Including surgical and non-surgical treatment options from international experts, Evaluation and Treatment of the Neurogenic Bladder is undoubtedly a useful resource in choosing the best treatments for optimal results.
