Synopsis "Hypospadias Surgery: An Illustrated Textbook"
This is the second edition of a well-received textbook that reflects the state of the art in Hypospadias Surgery. It provides a comprehensive reference that covers the History, Embryology, Anatomy, Morphology, Pathogenesis, Epidemiology, Genetics, all surgical techniques, their complications and long term follow up of Hypospadias. It is well illustrated with more than 2000 colour illustrations, operative photographs, surgical tips & tricks and complications. Hypospadias Surgery has become a true sub-specialty; however, there is a wide diversity of opinions, and a large number of operations have been described. In this unique volume, a team of world-class authors (42 experts from 19 countries) presents a professional and updated global overview on the management of this condition, highlighting and exploring the current philosophy and the different principles and techniques of hypospadias repair. Pediatric Urologists, Pediatric Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons and Urologists will benefit from reading this Second Edition. This book represents an excellent practical guide not only to surgeons in training, but also to more expert surgeons involved in the management of this common, but troublesome condition. "Surgeons should not operate on a patient with hypospadias unless they have read, marked, learnt and inwardly digested every word in every chapter in this book". (review of the first edition in the European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2004
