<p><b>Overactive Bladder: Practical Management</b> provides urologists, gynaecologists and other health practitioners with a comprehensive clinical guide to this very common problem, resulting in a perfect resource to consult time and time again.</p> <p>Beginning with an introductory section covering the definition and pathophysiology of OAB, it then moves on to cover evaluation, first-line management, second-line management and finally surgery.</p> <p>Well-illustrated throughout, each chapter begins with a key points box outlining the most important take-home messages. Also included are clear management algorithms to aid decision-making, ”Do’s and Don’ts” boxes to help avoid errors made, key references to the top journal articles, and the very latest guidelines from the EAU, AUA and other major urology societies.</p> <p>Chapters are written by the top names in the field and the entire book is expertly edited by Jacques Corcos, Scott MacDiarmid and John Heesakkers. The result is a consistent, comprehensive and fully up to date approach to OAB, providing urologists managing patients with this condition with rapid access, specialist clinical guidance.</p>
