comments about the 3rd edition:
●
“I have been getting ready for boards re-certification, and
the
book has
been a really useful way to cover a lot of specific material
quickly. Having gone over 750 SASP questions, I realize that
they
are all
italicized in the pocket guide. That is really helpful. ” –

a
must-have for every urology resident and practicing urologist.” –

“Do
you realize how important your pocket guide has become to
urology
training. Although Campbells is still the foundation, your

is the highest yield material out there. It's almost like you

knack
for simplifying complex topics with the least amount of words. Thanks
for all you've contributed to my education.” – Jeff B., San
Francisco, California.
