"This book focuses on the functional outcomes of radical pelvic and neurourologic surgeries. ... The audience is surgeons who perform these procedures and practitioners who take care of these patients -- surgical oncologists operating in the pelvis and neurourologists and members of their teams who help to manage these patients.
