How it begins

Un tratado técnico detallado sobre el diagnóstico, la estabilización hemodinámica y el abordaje quirúrgico de las emergencias del tracto genitourinario. Comprende desde la dinámica molecular de la nefropatía obstructiva y el choque endotóxico por urosepsis, hasta los algoritmos quirúrgicos de reconstrucción en traumas severos, priapismo de bajo flujo e infecciones necrotizantes perineales.
