RESUMO
This book is meant to complement rather than compete with the larger textbooks of urology. It emphasizes pathophysiologic concepts, correlates diagnostic testing with pathophysiology and documents the scientific basis for the treatment of the common diseases of the genito-urinary tract. It bridges the gap between basis science and the clinical practice of urology by filling the existing void between large, standard texts and urologic journals. It is my hope that urology residents and postgraduate trainees will find this book stimulating, informative and up-to-date. It should have primary appeal to individuals preparing for certification by the American Board of Urology, the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and other certifying bodies. Practicing urologists and medical students should also benefit from its emphasis on pathophysiologic concepts and treatment. As a concise reference to urologic disease, obstetricians, gynecologists, nephrologists and general surgeons should find it readable (AU)

The Gibbon catheter and the Walsh catheter have been described and their advantages over other catheters shown. The Walsh catheter is particularly useful after prostatectomy for it drains the bladder without infection or clot retention. The Gibbon catheter has largely removed the necessity of emergency prostatectomy. It is also very useful in cases of urethral fistula. A simple procedure such as dilatation of the urethra and passage of a Gibbon catheter often causes the fistula to close. This catheter is also of use in the treatment of urethral stricture and, as a temporary measure, in the treatment of retention of urine caused by carcinoma of the prostate(AU)
