Product Description

Previously considered rare, Peyronie's disease affects nearly 10% of adult men. Recent advances in wound-healing disorders have substantially increased the understanding of Peyronie's disease and its pathophysiology. In Peyronie's Disease: A Guide to Clinical Management, international authorities review the current nonsurgical and surgical therapeutic options for dealing with this fibrotic disorder. A variety of state-of-the-art research techniques is discussed, including tissue analysis, cell culture of fibroblasts derived from Peyronie's plaques, and animal models that attempt to mimic the in vivo process of tunica albuginea fibrosis while also providing an opportunity for manipulation with novel therapeutic techniques.

Although there is no cure for Peyronie's diseases, this text discusses treatments that may result in physical improvement or help to stabilize the scarring process. For those with a more advanced disease, surgical options to correct the deformity in an effort to make the patients functional again are reviewed. Also discussed are the many misconceptions about Peyronie's disease, so that a practicing physician will be able to diagnose, treat, or refer the patient more appropriately. An accompanying DVD reviews the most frequently performed operations, with tips on patient selection and surgical techniques for correction of Peyronie's disease.

As the first medical text on the subject, Peyronie's Disease: A Guide to Clinical Management provides an up-to-date summary of the etiology, natural history, and pathophysiology of this disease as well as presents a review of the available medical and surgical treatment options.

This is a masterpiece
Contrary to many bigger books on the market, this one is doable. Its 30+ chapters are 30-45 minutes to read each. The illustrations are superb and the whole book clearly was designed with the specialist-in-training in mind. It offers in-depth treatment on many basic science subjects, including nuclear medicine studies, and makes excellent use of illustrations and non-obtrusive references. It is unsuitable for the lay man, who might be better of with Smith's, and invaluable to the tired resident. The book is hard-cover, Smith-bound and has non-glossy paper for all the night students. Total time to really study probably 30-40 hours. I read it multiple times. If only they would reprint or better yet make a second edition..... ... Read more

.... just a view dates .....
If you are interested in Urology and its history ("dates"), don't go for this small compendium. You will find a collection of "dates" concerning general medicine and surgery every medical student knows; not even 10% of eponymes important to urologists are described and those who are are listed twice (day of birth and day of invention/"first description"). ...
