Part of a series which combines reviews of background material and advances in basic science with a critical evaluation of new approaches and techniques for clinical application, this study provides practical information on all those aspects of urology that depend on manufactured articles that are inserted or attached to the patient. Some of these are at the growing edge of the field and undergoing rapid development; others, although less fashionable, are nevertheless changing as a result of new technology. The wide diversity of topics covers methods of draining urine from the kidney, ureter and bladder, the management of urinary incontinence with appliances, and surgerical and genital prostheses for impotence and testicular replacement.
