Sommario/riassunto

Combining both operative day case urology and diagnostic urology into



a practical and comprehensive summary of the most common ‘day case’ urological procedures, The Handbook of Office Urological Procedures is a concise and relevant guide for urological residents, consultants, general practitioners with special interest in urology and nurses, written by leading international experts in the field. This book provides a handy reference guide for all qualified urologists across the world, who find themselves doing more office-based urology work, such as diagnostic testing and minor surgical procedures. With the increased emphasis on this type of practice, outlining common test protocol as well as short-stay surgery, this title offers the latest information and advice of the current climate in urology. Covering a wide spectrum of topics, in a format that charts each case from diagnosis through to suggested out-patient care, this work is ideal as both a learning tool for aspiring urologists, as well as a useful reference guide for experienced practitioners. Key issues which are covered include: - Urodynamics - Cystoscopy (flexible and rigid) - Suprapubic catheterization - Transrectal ultrasound scan and biopsy - Urethral dilation.

Sommario/riassunto

* Reviews the development of modern hydraulic fluids* Discusses the application and selection of hydraulic fluids through the investigation of their physical and chemical properties related to the operational requirements.* Offers guidance on suitable maintenance routinesSince the first use of water as a hydraulic medium in the late 18th century, hydraulics has become an indispensable discipline of engineering science.  Enormous technological advances have been made in the intervening years, but this has not been reflected in the available literature on the numerous fluids invo
