Smith's General Urology, Seventeenth Edition (LANGE Clinical Medicine) Review
Smith's General Urology is written by two absolute giants in the field of Urology in Jack McAninch and Emil Tanagho from UCSF. If you're a urology resident you probably own it just to keep on your shelf. In reality, this is a book aimed at senior medical students or junior residents. The goal of this book is not to be a titrated Campbell's. Also, don't compare it to pocket guide. This book, if you actually read it, is written very well. Sitting down with this book on a rare weekend off, it's really an enjoyable read. No, it doesn't site every source and study like Campbells, but that can get tedious at times. Also, pocket guide to urology is great for an in between case 5 minute refresher, or reading while commuting kinda deal. If you are at home and have ample time, reading a real text book such as Smiths, Campbell's, or even Penn Clinical Manual is much more enjoyable. Note, this book is great for the basics, infections, anatomy, kidney stones, trauma, radiology, history and physical etc. These subjects do not advance at the rate of prostate/renal/bladder cancer, female urology, etc. For current information on these, one really needs to look at the latest literature.In essence, if you're a senior student or junior resident who wants a good foundation in the basics of urology without getting bogged down by excess citations and detailed intraoperative technique (that you won't be apart of for many years!) then this is a nice little read. If you are, or will be a urology resident, you may as well get it as a testament to the authors and for another book on your shelf to make you look smart.
