In 1997, the second edition (English version) was released after revising and expanding the content. This book is divided into six chapters: kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate, external genitalia, and special surgical techniques. Each chapter is further divided into several sections, with detailed surgical steps provided for each procedure. Each surgical method is reviewed based on comparisons with standard techniques and the extent of acceptance by surgeons. The editors also analyze complication rates and technical flaws of the techniques themselves through literature reviews, striving to reassess standard techniques. The chapters in this book are written in a teaching style, with detailed descriptions of surgical procedures, supplemented by over 1,000 clear surgical illustrations. References are provided for each chapter, making it a comprehensive urological textbook. It can serve as a reference for urological surgeons in both clinical practice and training.
