There are several sub-disciplines of urology including endourology, laparoscopy, urologic oncology, neurourology, pediatric urology, andrology, female urology, reconstructive urology, etc. Endouorlogy comprises minimally invasive techniques which are used for performing diagnostic procedures and surgeries. It utilizes a thin tube which consists of cameras and surgical tools. A number of different urologic surgeries including bladder removal can lead to the development of several medical complications such as heart trouble, blood clots, urinary leakage and stone formation. This book aims to present recent studies on the complications and management of urologic surgery. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of surgery.
