Continuing in a great tradition of publishers, editors, and authors,
we proudly present to you, our readers, the twelfth edition of the
“Bible of Urology”—Campbell-Walsh-Wein Urology. Started in 1954
as Campbell’s Urology and retitled Campbell-Walsh Urology in 2012,
the present editors felt it was appropriate to honor Alan J. Wein,
MD, PhD (Hon) for his many years of dedication to this text by
adding his name to the previous chief editors. During his time as
chief editor, Dr. Wein was responsible for keeping the textbook in
pace with a rapidly growing field in medicine—for this diligence
and dedication we are grateful.
As with previous editions, the twelfth edition presents many
exciting advances in our use and understanding of technology,
physiology, pharmacology, epidemiology, and pathophysiology while
maintaining our basic classical urological knowledge.
We are dedicated to keeping the content of this textbook fresh
and on the cutting edge of care. CWW-12 adds 10 novel chapters
and more than 150 first-time authors, including several new authors
from international sites. CWW-12 has 3 volumes, 162 chapters, 3706
pages, and more than 3000 illustrations.
