About the book
Practical urology, distilled
The Urology Handbook was written to answer a simple question at the bedside: what should I do next? Each chapter moves from presentation and assessment through investigation to management, with the common scenarios up front and the specialist detail close behind. This second edition has been revised cover to cover, with new material on imaging-led diagnostics, functional urology and urological emergencies.
Built for the ward and the clinic
Every chapter opens with the practical decision points you face first — who to refer, what to request, and what can wait.
Aligned with current guidance
Recommendations are cross-checked against contemporary national and international urology guidelines and flagged where practice varies.
Fully revised for this edition
Updated imaging pathways, MRI-directed prostate diagnostics, expanded functional urology, and new emergencies content.
For the whole team
Pitched for urology trainees, but written to be useful to emergency clinicians, GPs, specialist nurses and medical students.
