How it begins

Un compendio científico y técnico exhaustivo, orientado a especialistas en cirugía urológica y oncología pélvica. Aborda de manera minuciosa la embriología, la urodinámica avanzada, las fístulas complejas, el manejo del carcinoma urotelial no músculo-invasor y músculo-invasor, la linfadenectomía extendida, los reservorios ortotópicos y el rescate de las complicaciones quirúrgicas vesicales.
