The diagnosis and management of many urologic diseases have been greatly influenced by recent pharmacological, surgical, and technological advances. One of the greatest challenges of the practicing urologist is to stay abreast with the many dynamic changes in this field. An internationally acclaimed faculty has been assembled to provide this update, with presentations on topics such as prostate cancer, transitional cell carcinoma, trauma and reconstructive urology, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), infertility, office-based ultrasound, neurourology, and female pelvic medicine.
