Practical Urology 2.2

Practical Urology serves as a comprehensive resource tailored for swift access to a wide range of urological topics. Its incorporation of flow-charts and tables enhances rapid decision-making during emergencies, at the bedside, or in routine clinical encounters, although it is important to note that brand names may differ internationally.

The content encompasses prevalent conditions relevant to Primary Care, including mild urological emergencies, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and male infertility. For urologists, the application is particularly beneficial as a quick reference for emergency management (e.g., priapism, sepsis, Fournier’s gangrene), rare diseases (e.g., urogenital tuberculosis, postsurgical chylous ascites, recurrent nocturnal erections), perioperative care considerations (e.g., antithrombotic and antibiotic prophylaxis, metabolic alterations), and urological oncology.

Navigation is facilitated by a chapter index and an index of abbreviations, allowing users to locate information with minimal effort.

Additional features include:

• Urology links: In-app browser access to various online resources such as calendars for urological events, journals, validated questionnaires, nomograms for prostate, bladder, and kidney assessments, and a free testosterone calculator.
• Notes section: Provision for personal annotations within each section.
• Comprehensive drug information: Overview of drugs utilized in urology.
• Reference for normal lab values.
• Illustrated atlas: Visual guide to dermatological conditions affecting male genitalia, encompassing both malignant and premalignant lesions as well as sexually transmitted diseases.
