Book Description

Excerpt from Diseases of the Genito-Urinary Organs and Kidney It has been the purpose of the writers to present in this volume a discussion of the more important disease conditions of the uro-genital tract, taken from the standpoint of the general practitioner and surgeon. In so far as possible they have attempted to incorporate such methods as they personally have found most practical and useful, all of which they believe may be successfully employed in the hands of any well equipped practitioner, familiar with modern medical and surgical technic. The writers do not profess that the book is complete; this would be impossible in a work of this size. They have attempted to devote the greatest amount of space and the fullest descriptions to those conditions and methods which have appeared to them to be of the greatest importance, or to those which, being of recent development, may be presumed to be less familiar to the practitioner. A larger amount of space has been devoted to the urinary organs proper, and relatively less has been said of purely sexual disorders. The work is the conjoint product of a surgeon and a physician, and it is intended that equal attention should be devoted to both medical and surgical aspects of these diseases. References to literature have not been exhaustively made. So many suggestions of value have, however, been found in the work of Berger and Hartmann and in that of Frisch and Zuckerkandl that they require especial mention in this preface.
