Suggested Readings

Prior to starting your Urology rotation:

  • I suggest you skim Chapter 1, “Anatomy of the Genitourinary Tract” to refresh your memory on urologic anatomy. Also skim through Chapter 3, “Symptoms of Disorders of the Urinary Tract” to learn why urologic problems cause the symptoms they cause.
  • You will do a Urinalysis teaching session on the first day of your rotation. You will learn much more from that if you review pages 49 – 56 of Chapter 5, “Urologic Laboratory Examination” beforehand.

Prior to scrubbing in the Operating Room:

  • It would be beneficial to read Chapter 9, “Laparoscopic Surgery” prior to scrubbing for any laparoscopic surgical procedures such as laparoscopic nephrectomies, prostatectomies or pyeloplasties.
  • It would be beneficial to read Chapter 10, “Retrograde Instrumentation of the Urinary Tract” prior to scrubbing for outpatient cystoscopic or ureteroscopic cases in B2 Ambulatory Surgery.
  • It would be beneficial to review Chapter 12 “Vesicoureteral Reflux” prior to scrubbing in on ureteral reimplantation surgery or endoscopic management of pediatric vesicoureteral reflux.
  • It would be beneficial to review Chapter 24, “Urinary Diversion & Bladder Substitution” prior to scrubbing in for a cystectomy or bladder augmentation.
  • It would be beneficial to read pages 560-570 of Chapter 35, “Disorders of the Ureter & Ureteropelvic Junction” prior to scrubbing in on a ureterocele repair, a pyeloplasty or a megaureterrepair.
