Diseases and Surgery of the Genito-Urinary System - Volume One is a medical book written by Dr. Francis Sedgwick Watson. This book is a detailed examination of the external genitals, the prostate, and the bladder. The purpose of Watson's book is to detail the genito-urinary system and to outline the applicable medical and surgical procedures related to these systems of the body. The book is divided into parts, with chapters serving as subdivisions within these broad topics. Part one focuses on the external male genitalia, with chapters on the penis, the urethra, the scrotum, the spermatic cord, the testicles, and the seminal vesicles. Typically, one chapter is devoted to the anatomy and physiology of the body part, with a later chapter devoted to techniques for operating upon the specific body part. Part two of Dr. Watson's book examines the prostate and the bladder, and is structured in the same fashion as part one. Francis Sedgwick Watson has created a detailed medical textbook on the genito-urinary system. The information is presented in a concise style, and the frequent illustrations serve to advance the understanding of the reader. While the book is clearly intended for medical students and medical practitioners, the style is such that the layman can still glean a great deal of information even without an advanced medical background. Detailed bibliographies are presented at the conclusion of each chapter, so readers interested in further pursuing a topic will have the option to do so. Diseases and Surgery of the Genito-Urinary System - Volume One is an extremely detailed, yet still readable, medical textbook. While treatment procedures have certainly evolved a great deal since, the information provided by Watson on the anatomy and physiology is invaluable. For medical students and professionals to whom the subject matter is of interest, this book is highly recommended.
