Revised by Drs. Jaime Landman and Roshan M. Patel, Urinary System, Volume 5 integrates core concepts of anatomy, physiology, and other basic sciences with common clinical correlates across health, medical, and surgical disciplines. Classic Netter art, updated and new illustrations, and modern imaging continue to bring medical concepts to life and make this timeless work an essential resource for students, clinicians, and educators.
- Provides a complete overview of the kidney, ureters, prostate, and bladder, from normal anatomy, histology, physiology, and development to glomerular and tubular diseases, infections, urological surgeries, and cancers.
- Covers timely topics like the urinary microbiome, enucleation of prostate, and robotic simple prostatectomy.
- Provides a concise overview of complex information by integrating anatomical and physiological concepts with clinical scenarios.
- Shares the experience and knowledge of expert editors and authors.
- Compiles Dr. Frank H. Netter’s master medical artistry—an aesthetic tribute and source of inspiration for medical professionals for over half a century—along with new art in the Netter tradition for each of the major body systems, making this volume a powerful and memorable tool for building foundational knowledge and educating patients or staff.
- NEW! An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
