Urinary Tract Stone Disease covers the entire subject of urinary stone disease from basic sciences to medical and surgical treatment of stones. The surgical management of urinary stone disease has advanced significantly since the introduction of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), ureteroscopy (URS), and more recently retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS) with small, flexible fibre-optic ureteroscopes. As a result, “cutting for stones” has become a rare procedure. These minimally invasive techniques are now also used in the paediatric population with great safety and success. This book consists of 60 chapters divided into 9 sections. The first 3 sections are devoted to basic sciences on subjects ranging from epidemiology of urinary calculi, to shock wave physics. The fourth section deals with diagnostic, laboratory, and research methods in the diagnosis and investigation of stones. Stone disease in children is dealt with in chapter 5, followed by 3 sections on surgical management of stones. Finally, there is an entire section on medical management of stones. With highly illustrated diagrams, photographs, and X-ray images throughout, this book is an excellent reference for urologists, nephrologists and non-medical scientists.

Il volume illustra in una prima parte la storia della chirurgia delle fistole, l'anatomia della regione anorettale, il ruolo della flora batterica, la descrizione dei vari interventi, convenzionali e nuovi, compreso l’impiego delle cellule staminali, la preparazione diagnostica con immagini e altri esami, la cura post-operatoria del paziente con i controlli e le medicazioni e le revisioni chirurgiche, la psicosomatica della sepsi anorettale, il problema delle recidive e della continenza. Storie sui luoghi e sui protagonisti della proctologia, primi fra tutti i chirurghi del St Mark’s Hospital, arricchiscono la trattazione accompagnate da disegni illustrativi, foto ambulatoriali, radiografie, RMN ed ecografie . Nella seconda parte il volume assume le caratteristiche di un atlante di chirurgia, offrendo una rassegna delle principali tecniche utilizzate nella pratica clinica con foto a colori dei campi operatori. I principali tipi di intervento sono illustrati da diversi casi clinici, alcuni dei quali dedicati alle novità come il “plug” e la colla di fibrina, altri alle fistole “a ferro di cavallo”, ai lembi di avanzamento rettale e alle fistole retto-vaginali semplici e complesse. Lo scopo del libro, destinato a coloproctologi, chirurghi, gastroenterologi, radiologi e ginecologi, è di offrire al lettore una chiave “ragionata passo dopo passo” per la chirurgia di queste affezioni, ricordando, come scrisse John Goligher, che è più difficile guarire una fistola complessa e recidiva che operare un cancro del retto.  .
