The fresh, open design features two illustrations per page with accompanying one-column of text. Callouts in the margins highlight 'cautions' and 'notes' that provide quickly retrievable information in easily understood language. This creates a practical, logically planned user-friendly reference."

Review: (Springer-Verlag New York) "Urodynamics and the Evaluation of Female Incontinence is a practical primer for physicians interested in learning about simple and complex urodynamic testing. It provides an understanding of all the techniques used for the evaluation and treatment of the incontinent or lower urinary tract dysfunctional female patient. A quick reference guide to out-patient treatment is also included. The clear, concise workbook structure allows for quick reference to multichannel urodynamic tracings and their interpretation. Brief but thorough discussion of the underlying theory and concepts behind urodynamic testing will enable the reader to gain a firm grasp of the implications of test results in individual patients. In contrast to other didactic texts, this book will enable the reader to initiate testing programs and will be of practical benefit to all who are interested in the topic and in improving the patient care."
