Prof. Walsh in his own words in new edition of De Historia
Every year the EAU History Office prepares a volume of the long-running book series that explores the origins of urology. New volumes have been presented at the EAU’s Annual Congress since 1994. This new edition features nine new chapters by contributors.
Notably, the cover feature is a new first-hand report by Prof. Patrick Walsh, a prominent speaker at last year’s 7th International Congress on the History of Urology in Milan. Prof. Walsh is well-known for his pioneering of the nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy, having first discovered the relevant nerves while visiting Prof. Pieter Donker’s department in Leiden, the Netherlands.
In addition to Prof. Walsh’s recollections, the chapter offers a commentary on the significance of Profs. Walsh and Pieter Donker’s discovery in the early 1980s, a reproduction of the original sketches, and also full-colour reproductions of the final hand-drawn illustrations that accompanied the revolutionary article in Journal of Urology.
