The several uses for bowel as substitute for missing or malfunctioning parts of the storage-evacuation system are shown including continent diversion when both ureterovesical and vesicourethral connections are missing as is the case after cystectomy for advanced malignancy

Campbell's Urology

Each new edition of this classic work lets us increase our knowledge of urology and bring it up to date. With editors from the several important fields within urology and a host of experts, 90 in all, the work is bound to be authoritative and exhaustive. Each volume has over 1000 pages, starting with anatomy, physiology, and (new) genetics. Pathophysiology is adequately covered for what is basically a book for clinically oriented users. Advances in the fields of neurourology, sexual function, and infertility are presented authoritatively. A complete section on urologic surgery in childhood is found, in addition to almost an entire volume on established surgical procedures in adults. In this part, the principles of the operations are described, and, although the number and quality of the illustrations vary from operation to operation, the reader can easily follow the essential steps.

Financing residency training in urology.

Five educators concerned with changes occurring in the financing of medical education and care reviewed the present status of residency programs and their financing. Future support depends on political decisions as well as demonstrable needs. The effects of anticipated reductions in funding for residents and their programs may be countered by the development of alternative sources and the restructuring of present programs for more efficient operation.

In addition, as part of the discussion of each cystic entity, the radiographic diagnostic features are described and well-illustrated. The section on functional abnormalities associated with renal cystic disease contains useful information for management of patients. The genetics section also has
