Abstract
Glenn’s Urologic Surgery is neither a surgical atlas nor a comprehensive urology text Instead it aims to be a concise and thorough reference for adult and pediatric surgical techniques with detailed descriptions and illustrations and brief discussions of the indications alternatives and outcomes for these operations Rather than replacing a basic atlas or comprehensive text Glenn’sUrologic Surgery complements these texts First published in 1969 this is the 7th edition of this book unfortunately the founding editor and author James F Glenn died in 2009The book is 959 pages with 139 chapters organized into topical sections anatomically grouped by organ then with additional sections on urinary diversion pediatric urology and laparoscopic procedures Each anatomically organized section begins with a brief review of anatomy Individual chapters may cover topics such as trauma to the kidney or penis but are more likely to address individual surgical procedures for example
