Surgery · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
Un compendio científico detallado enfocado en la especialización de la cirugía urológica y del tracto urinario superior. Analiza exhaustivamente la dinámica miccional, la biología del carcinoma renal y urotelial, las técnicas de reconstrucción abierta y endourológica, el manejo del trauma de alta energía y los síndromes obstructivos complejos.
