Evidence–based Urology

 This unique book provides up–to–date information on the appropriateness of both medical and surgical treatment options for a broad spectrum of urological conditions based on the current best evidence. 
Written by an international team of authors that stand out through their specialty expertise and leadership in practicing evidence–based urology, this book provides practical recommendations for the care of individual patients. Each chapter addresses a series of focused clinical questions that are addressed in a systematic fashion, including a comprehensive literature search, a rating of the quality of evidence, and an assessment of ratio of benefit and harm of a given treatment option. 
Evidence–Based Urology is an invaluable source of evidence–based information distilled into guidance for clinical practice.
