1.

Smith's General Urology by E. A. Tanagho, J. W. McAnich. This text is a very comprehensive overview of urology and is probably the basic text most commonly used by both students and residents. It is a good textbook to try to finish before your rotation begins.

2.

Clinical Manual of Urology by P. M. Hanno, S. B. Malkowicz, A. J. Wein. The pocket-sized volume serves as a fantastic reference manual for both the clinics and the wards. This text can easily substitute for Smith's. Whether you need a quick refresher course on renal cell carcinoma before a case or trying to figure out how to free penile skin from a zipper in the ER--this text will bail you out. Certainly a must for every resident. This new edition came out in May 2007 as a companion text to Cambell's.

 

3.

Urology Secrets by M. I. Resnick, A. C. Novick. If you cannot get through Smith's General Urology or Clinical Manual of Urology, consider reading this book cover to cover. This is a very comprehensive text in quite readable Q&A format that is useful for both pre-rotation reading and for quick topic review.

4.

Color Atlas of Urologic Surgery by A. T. K. Cockett, K. Koshiba. This book can kill two bird with one stone. For mastering urological anatomy, this is an excellent and very readable adjunct to the basic anatomy texts you used in the pre-clinical years. Also use it to learn the surgical sequences of common urological operations, as it contains many quality color illustrations of GU surgeries. This book is rather dated, however, so it won't replace a more updated and comprehensive surgical atlas (see below).

A surgical atlas is a must have text during your Sub-I. By spending 30 minutes reading the night before the operation, you will look like a star when attendings and residents pick your brain during the surgery. Glenn's Urologic Surgery by Sam D Graham, Thomas E Keane, James F Glenn is a recently updated, excellent text. Textbook of Operative Urology by F. F. Marshall, J. W. McAninch, L. R. Kavoussi and Atlas of Urologic Surgery by F. Hinman and P. H. Stempen are a bit more dated..

6.

Campbell-Walsh Urology by A. J. Wein, L. R. Kavoussi, A. C. Novick, A. W. Partin, C. A. Peters. This is the bible of the field. In med school, use it as a reference text when asked to lookup specific topics, for researching presentations, etc. A strong resident will have read this cover to cover (more than once).
